Highlights
The second annual Rutland Flower Show returns to the Rutland Showground (Oakham, Rutland, LE15 7TW) from 14th–16th August 2026. This expanded three-day event promises to be even better than the debut, bringing together National Flower Clubs, gardening societies, and renowned horticultural experts.
New for 2026, the legendary Carol Klein from BBC Gardeners’ World will be joining the show on Saturday. The event also sees the return of Rutland’s own Nick Hamilton from Barnsdale Gardens and Matthew Wilson from BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time.
The show features a packed program including floral and produce competitions, celebrity gardener talks, and stunning show gardens. Visitors can enjoy garden and plant shopping, browse the works of skilled artisans and crafters, and enjoy live music. A highlight of the weekend will be the spectacular fly pasts by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF).
