Spring Garden dining returns to RHS Chelsea Flower Show with new Saturday tickets for a wider audience

Spring Garden, the special dining event held during the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, will return this May. The popular experience combines food, live music and horticultural activities, and this year organisers are introducing Saturday tickets priced from £242 in an effort to broaden access. The Royal Hospital Chelsea has hosted the show since 1913, and it remains one of the most prominent fixtures in the British horticultural calendar. Spring Garden operates within the wider event, offering a food-focused alternative to a traditional bloom-gazing visit.

The culinary programme for 2026 will be led by Jeremy Chan, co-founder of the two-Michelin-starred London restaurant Ikoyi, alongside Spanish chef and restaurateur José Pizarro. Visitors will be served seasonal menus accompanied by wine pairings and unlimited champagne, with additional activities including garland-making workshops, live music performances and guided horticultural walks through the gardens.

The event runs in two daily sessions: the Spring Garden Meridian sitting from 9am to 5pm, and the Nocturne sitting from 3.30 to 10pm. Ticket prices range from £525 to £1,095, with the newly released Saturday tickets starting at £242 – a price point the organisers say is intended to open the experience to a wider audience.
