An example of one of the workshops taking place during the week is ‘Practical Gardening’, which is hosted by Arit Anderson.

A teaser on the official website for the exhibition states: “Don’t miss the opportunity to learn new green-fingered skills and improve your gardening and floral know-how from our expert speakers.

“Head to the theatre to be inspired by broadcaster Arit Anderson, be wowed by celebrity floral designer Jonathan Moseley as he explores floral delights, and hear from the ‘Twitter king of big veg’ Gerald Stratford.”

There will even be live performances over the course of the show, with a dedicated bandstand which will host several bands.

“Be entertained by a host of professional musicians at the show’s Bandstand” said a spokesman.

“Boogie to 1950s-style rock ‘n’ roll from Razor Holler, see trio of starlets The Femmes bring the glory of the 1940s to life and listen to western swing from Rip-Roaring Success.”

The full confirmed line-up and timetable of these events can be found on the official Tatton Park Flower Show page of the RHS website.
