Get your green fingers at the ready as the award-winning Chorley Flower Show is back for a three day event in July.

Last’s year’s event was a ‘bloomin’ success with hundreds flocking to Astley Park to check out the many different types of flowers. This year’s show will be back on Friday, July 28, to Sunday, July 30, with some of the finest professional exhibitors with multiple gold medals from the country’s largest flower shows and RHS events. National and local societies will be displaying their plants and running regional competitions and the gardening theatre will be back with demonstrations from professional gardeners.

Two incredible nights of music are planned for this year’s Flower Show - Friday will see a night of pure pop with the incredible Abba Re-Bjorn and Saturday will see soul return with Chic to Chic, with gates opening at 6.30pm each night. There will also be fun and entertainment for all the family, a selection of excellent food and drink traders and guests will be able to check out the stunning newly refurbished Astley Hall.

The show will open at 9am on the Sunday for ‘quiet hour’ for people who have reduced mobility/prefer a quieter environment. There will also be an area for visitors to take a break from the show at the Chorley Dementia Action stall.
