The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is scheduled for 19–23 May 2026 in London, with public days typically 21–23 May after RHS members days. Ticket sales were reported as open for 2026, with public-facing dates and durations highlighted by press coverage and RHS updates.[1][3][7]

Early previews and show garden lineups were announced in late 2025, including 13 initial show gardens and themes spanning biodiversity, urban space design, and calming landscapes, with notable designers returning or making comebacks to Chelsea 2026. Sarah Eberle was highlighted for a special Chelsea project, marking a notable return after prior retirements from show garden design.[2][3][7]

Additional 2026 Chelsea coverage emphasized new garden concepts, plant-focused design categories like All About Plants, and practical attendee information (timings, ticketing, and sell-off details), along with show garden previews released by RHS and partner outlets.[7][9][10]

Practical attendee guidance from media guides and hotel/venue partners noted show hours (8:00–20:00 on most days, earlier or later timings on specific days) and the typical public sell-off timing on the final day, with ticket options generally starting from mid-range prices depending on tier and day.[4][5][7]
