CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW - including 3.30 to 8.00pm admission

We have been visiting Chelsea Flower Show for the afternoon admission for several years now and we find that it is ideal for people that live in the Midlands. We don’t get caught in the early morning traffic, we generally arrive before 3.00pm and are allowed straight in and have approximately 5 hours to admire the gardens when the show is not so crowded.

All show tickets sold.
