In July 2026, the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire will host the brand new RHS Badminton Flower Show. Highlights include exciting new plant combinations in the Pocket Planting Gardens, traditional craft skills at the RHS Artisan Gardens and vibrant summer displays from over 80 specialist nurseries. Sit back and enjoy music by the lakeside, watch live gardening demonstrations on the stage and head to the Grow Your Own area for handy tips to take home.  

The Badminton Estate, home to the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, is a magnificent country house set within rolling parkland. Known for hosting the world-famous Badminton Horse Trials, the estate has also been location to films and TV programmes including The Gentlemen and Bridgerton. The sport of badminton also originated at Badminton House in the 19th century.


There has been a massive interest in our summer outing to the RHS Flower Show at Badminton on Thursday 9th July (details above) and all the seats available on the 49 seater coach have now been filled. However, we have opened a waiting list in case any of those who have already booked find that they are no longer able to come. If you would like to be added to the waiting list please contact Carol Shanahan.

If and when you are allocated a waiting list place, please use the booking form (here) to confirm that place and the booking form (here) for the separate coach booking form.
