If you can’t locate your e-tickets, please check your junk/spam folders, log in to your Ticket Factory account, or contact us via this form.

Please note: When completing this form, you are leaving the RHS website and will be subject to Ticket Factory’s terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Our official ticketing partner is The Ticket Factory. By purchasing from any unauthorised source (such as eBay, Viagogo, TicketsToSee, StubHub and Gumtree etc.), you run the risk of the tickets being rendered invalid and being denied entry on the day, and also being denied tickets to future events.

Please support us by only buying direct – ticket proceeds go towards the charitable aims of the RHS – buying from unofficial vendors does not support this.

We have, in addition, partnered with the ethical resale site Twickets. This allows ticket holders to sell their tickets and for others to purchase them for no more than face value (plus fees).

RHS members are able to buy four tickets at a member rate. This means you can effectively bring three non-members as guests.

Yes. Children aged 5+ require a ticket and these can be purchased on our website. 

Under 5s can attend RHS Urban Show, RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival , RHS Flower Show Tatton Park for free.

Children aged five years or over are allowed into the RHS Chelsea Flower Show provided that they hold a valid ticket, are with an accompanying adult and comply with the Terms and Conditions. ­Prams, pushchairs and buggies are not permitted in the showground. Babes in arms are allowed but discouraged due to the unsuitability of the environment.

There are several options open to you if you can no longer use your ticket. We operate a strict no refund policy, but we permit exchanges to another day of the same show, or another show in our 2024 Main Season (excluding shows held in RHS Gardens or Malvern).
