RHS Malvern Spring Festival

RHS Malvern Spring Festival, a pioneering four-day horticultural extravaganza, will kick-start the RHS Floral Show season for 2025 when it returns to Three Counties Showground, Malvern from 8 – 11 May 2025, with a packed programme that includes a host of exciting new features.

The theme for this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival is ‘Plants & People’, encouraging visitors to explore the numerous ways in which plants impact our lives – from the positive impact they have on our physical and mental wellbeing, to improving the air we breathe and providing food for us to eat.

RHS Malvern Spring Festival has a long-standing reputation as the trailblazer of the RHS Floral Show season, leading the way in the latest gardening developments. An exciting and innovative new feature of the 2025 festival is the introduction of the first RHS judged Indoor Plant Gardens, never before seen at Malvern. The pioneering Indoor Plant Gardens will showcase creative ways of using indoor plants and the impact they can have on our daily lives. The gardens will also demonstrate how versatile and easily accessible indoor plants are, and how they’re an enjoyable and convenient way to engage in horticulture year-round, regardless of whether or not you have outdoor space, and without being subject to the ever-growing challenges posed by the climate.

The brand-new Give it a Grow theatre will debut at this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival, offering practical advice, inspirational talks and expert tips on plant growing.

Another new feature at this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival is the introduction of a special ‘Dog Day’ on Sunday 11 May 2025. Well-behaved dogs on short, fixed leads are welcome to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the festival with their owners. A limited number of dog tickets are available to book online in advance.

A host of new VIP experiences have been unveiled for this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival, including an exclusive preview of the Floral Marquee with horticultural expert Jon Wheatley, followed by breakfast (£112 per person), an early-access Exclusive Show Garden Tour ahead of public viewing, followed by breakfast (£112 per person) and a special cream tea with BBC Gardeners’ World presenters Rachel de Thame (Friday 9th May) or Adam Frost (Saturday 10th May, both £134 per person). Further details and advance booking can be found here.

All this plus the crowning of the very first RHS-medal-winning outdoor show gardens of the year, expert horticulturalists and popular TV gardeners sharing their tops tips (including Alan Titchmarsh CBE), live cooking demos from some of the UK’s best chefs, and a whole host of shopping opportunities, food and drink, and family friendly activities to enjoy.
