Autumn Harrogate Flower Show moves to Newby for 2020

We are pleased to confirm the announcement that Harrogate Flower Shows are bringing their world-famous autumn event to Newby Hall Gardens next year.

The UK’s premier autumn gardening show will take place on the 18-20th September 2020.

Harrogate Flower Show Director, Nick Smith said:

“Any good attraction or event should regularly review what is available to offer and ensure that it stays both relevant and vibrant for its visitors.’

We have carried out that process over the last year and, working with our partners at Newby, we are thrilled to become the first national gardening event to offer future visitors all of their favourite show features, plus access to a fabulous stately home and gardens.”

Newby Hall is only a few miles away, with access just off the A1M, and offers 25 acres of incredible gardens, as well as a children’s adventure garden. The move has really given us an opportunity to reimagine what our show could look like and we hope that our visitors will be as excited as we are about the future!”

Richard Compton, owner of Newby Hall and Gardens added:

We are delighted to be hosting the UK’s premier autumn gardening event and can promise a warm Newby welcome to Harrogate Autumn Flower Show visitors and exhibitors for 18-20 September 2020.

Our award winning gardens offer 15 different garden ‘rooms’ to explore, in addition to our iconic double herbaceous borders. The combination of the flower show, the gardens and the hall will create an incredible experience. We are proud and excited.
