Who's already ordered tickets?
Greetings Tulip
Can you get tickets for a saturday? I work monday to friday so can't go; neither can I book a week off work! Went to Hampton Court last year on the Saturday - it was a great day out!
I think you can. Look at the RHS site.
Greetings Tulip
No, I shalln't be going as I 'hate' crowds. Hampton Court is just about my limit.
Have looked at the website and .....Yes! You can get tickets for a Saturday! Yipeeee! Going to 'twist' DBH arm to take me. Right got to sort out train tickets now! Thanks Tulip!
Hi farmerfewy,
I'm going on Tuesday so won't get to meet up for a Pims!!!! Hope there'll still be some over on Saturday!!!
Hi CopperPaul,
Get there at 8am and look at at the gardens before the day trippers arrive, then get on with drinking Pims!
See you on the Tuesday then?!
Greetings Tulip
Aw that would have been nice! When we went to Hampton it was our wedding anniversary and DBH said 'shall we have some champagne?' He soon changed his mind when he saw it was £100 a bottle!!!
I will be doing Southport or Tatton next year, not as grand as Chelsea but not as far to drive so I sill get my fix
The thought of all the crowds at Chelsea doesn't appeal- view on tv better.
Have done Tatton last 6yrs much better, especially if you go on RHS preview day as not so busy & you can buy plants!! J.
i wont be going to Chelsea, i have been to Tatton once, my daughter bought tickets as a treat, she lives near so i can stay overnight with her if i decide to go next year but i prefer my local show at Holker Hall most of the local nurseries are there as well as a lot from the the rest of the country, not much in the way of show gardens but we all know that they are impossible to achieve at home. I shall watch all of the shows on the box with my feet up, but if you have the energy please enjoy and i hope it stays fine but not too hot
Hi little-ann,
have heard of Holker. Any idea when it's likely to be? My daughter in Barrow & she enjoys shows too- usually encourages more spending!! I approve of supporting local nurseries too. J.
its usually the weekend nearest 4th June (my birthday) i discovered two nurseries not to far from me that i didn't know existed, very helpfull knowledgeable owners
