Harrogate Autumn Flower Show

Five thousand autumn blooms, leading plant nurseries and floral art installations set against Newby Hall's grounds — this is the show serious gardeners plan their year around, but it's just as good for anyone who wants a properly beautiful afternoon outdoors.

Ticket includes the run of Newby's own gardens, so budget the whole day. Book ahead of 2 September for the discounted price — it's a treat that rewards planning.
