Discover a new celebration of plants and people in Bristol

Join us in Bristol, 8 - 11 July 2027, for an exciting new RHS Plant Festival that puts plants at the heart of the show

Designed to be immersive, engaging and rooted in the city, the RHS Plant Festival will bring together spectacular planting, expert advice, inspiring growers and a welcoming programme of activities for gardeners of all levels.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, you’ll find plenty to explore. Browse and shop from specialist nurseries, discover beautiful summer plants and gather fresh design ideas for your own growing space. A striking plant-filled feature space will offer a vibrant showcase celebrating the beauty, diversity and power of plants.

With a variety of nurseries to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for plant choices
Grow Your Own will be a key theme throughout the festival, reflecting Bristol’s strong gardening culture and enthusiasm for edible growing. Visitors can meet expert growers, pick up practical advice and explore inspiring pop-up plant displays that demonstrate how productive planting can be both useful and attractive.

A lively talks programme will bring together RHS experts, community gardening champions and some of the UK’s most exciting gardening content creators. From practical growing tips to fresh ideas for connecting with plants and nature, the programme will offer something for gardeners of every experience level.

The festival will place a strong emphasis on learning and sharing knowledge 
Visitors will be able to access advice stations across the show, providing practical support and inspiration on a wide range of gardening topics. Plans also include hands-on workshops and immersive learning experiences, creating opportunities to develop new skills and confidence, with delicious street food to complete your day.

The festival will celebrate the projects, people and green spaces that help make Bristol such a vibrant gardening city. Together, these elements will create a bright, welcoming and inclusive festival that showcases the many ways plants can enrich everyday life.
