To celebrate its 21st birthday, the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show takes on a Shakesperean theme and runs from Tuesday, July 6 to Sunday July 11.
The highlight will be six Shakespeare Gardens, created by designers such as Anthea Guthrie and Yvonne Matthews, which be based on the Bard’s comedies: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, The Taming Of the Shrew and Twelfth Night.
Other attractions will be the Midsummer Rose Festival, in association with the The Royal Shakespeare Company, inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream and featuring a fabulous array of roses from top growers.
And schools across South-East England will be competing in a scarecrow competition based on one of Shakespeare’s comedies. The shortlisted scarecrows will be featured and open to a public vote at the show.
Tickets can be purchased (priced from £14-32) from the RHS or by calling 0844 338 7528.
