About Us
Knowsley Flower Show is celebrating its 13th year and is the largest free horticultural Show in the North West, attracting up to 18,000 people. This year's show is expected to be bigger and better than ever. If you've never visited the show before you will be in for a pleasant surprise. The show is set in the grounds of Court Hey Park—home of National Wildflower Centre and former residence of the late William Gladstone. Click here to visit the Friends of Court Hey Park website. As well as a giant floral marquee—which is always a blaze of colour and which houses over 400 exhibits—there is a fantastic array of entertainment and attractions on offer, including falconry displays, guided walks, a woodworker, craft demonstrations, dog obedience, arts workshops and circus skills. A large craft marquee will feature in the show along with many trade stands ranging from garden centres to conservatories. The show also includes children's fairground rides, the Youth Arts Friendship field with live music, dance and activities including jewellery making and samba drumming. There is a 'gardener's question time' where you can seek gardening tips, and a large farmers's market... in a nutshell a great day out for all the family. This show is a great example of community partnership with great links and expertise offered by five of the borough's horticultural and allotments societies/community groups – Roby and Whiston Horticultural Societies and Bowring Park and Cuper Crescent Allotments and Friends of Court Hey Park. So put the date in your diary and join in on a fun-packed day for all the family or….. why not enter the show yourself …..there are special novice classes and help is at hand by contacting our Show Secretary, Christine Yates on 0151 480 8666 or calling the Arts & Heritage Service on 0151 443 5619. See our how to get started section for more information. The show offers something for everyone – a day to keep the whole family entertained and of course keep the devoted gardener happy!
