The British weather might never be playing ball, but you can always rely on glorious events such as the Chelsea Flower Show to bring a spot of sunshine.
Every May, the lawns of the illustrious show start blooming and esteemed guests flock to London to catch a glimpse.
This year, the show runs from the 19-23 May, taking place at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, festival highlights include a painted gnomes auction (we want them all), displays on how to maximise a small outside space – transforming balconies into blissful escapes, plus stunning installations that will inspire anyone to get in touch with their green fingered side.
And of course, there’s all the lovely fashion. Expect florals aplenty – of course – and perhaps a hat or two as the quintessentially British festival takes off.
