We’re delighted to confirm our Official Hospitality Partner status for the 2023 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the most quintessentially British hospitality event on the yearly calendar.

With huge thanks and gratitude we say goodbye to the Raymond Blanc / Jardin Blanc era at the Royal Hospital Chelsea and we’re extremely excited to welcome and introduce ‘Spring Garden’.

Spring Garden is a haven away from the everyday, nestled in the heart of the world’s most renowned flower show. Explore , forage and discover food and drink served straight from the earth, with minimum disruption to the natural world.

Chef Patron Skye Gyngell, of Spring, Heckfield Place and formerly of Petersham Nurseries, has become one of Britain’s most respected and acclaimed chefs. Renowned for her signature style of seasonal and elegant cooking, she has created an ingredient led bespoke menu for Spring Garden. This exciting new restaurant will be a true collaboration between Skye and London’s foremost luxe caterer Alison Price & Company.

We can’t wait to be back in 2023 at The Royal Hospital Chelsea for another wonderful spring / summer edition of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

RHS Chelsea History

The first Chelsea Flower Show was 109 years ago in 1913 on May 20th and has been held on a similar weekend ever since. The event lasted three days and was held within a single marquee, so the development of the Chelsea Flower Show has been astronomical. Royal visits over time became more traditional as the King and Queen did not attend in 1913, but the King’s Mother, Queen Alexandra was in attendance.

The first ever Gold medal was given in the inaugural year before World War 1 began and took it’s toll on the format. John Wood of Boston Spa was awarded the sought after prize for his rock garden.

The show really started to develop commercially in the 1980s and 1990s, which included the creation of a subsequent flower show at Hampton Court Palace Festival, taken over by the RHS in 1993. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show expanded it’s capacity alongside the demand for tickets, with a requirement for more elaborate package and hospitality options occurring in the 2010’s.

In 2016, Jardin Blanc was unveiled at Chelsea, with Raymond Blanc spearheading a revolution in the show’s catering options. Leading us to the present where hospitality has been designed to cater for a modern audience, alongside the traditional elements and heritage of the Flower Show.
