1. RHS Flower Show Tatton Park takes place from 17th - 21st July 2024

   Posted on 11:00pm Tuesday 7th May 2024

    

   The RHS Flower Show  - Tatton Park  takes place from the 17th - 21st July 2024

   It will be an amazing event, with lots to see and do and activities for all the family, from the younger members to older children and adults!

   For instance, one of the feature gardens I'd love to see if I lived closer is the RHS Nocturnal Pollinator Experience and there's also the Empowerment Garden, a Terrace Garden, which has been co-designed by users of Petrus (people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness). 

   Don't miss the Plant Village and Floral Marquee, where you can pick up lots of lovely top tips from expert growers.  There's the Flower School - find out how to create amazing displays - and the Summer Fruit and Veg Competition.  There's family fun and inspiring talks, too.  There's a list of exhibitors here

   
   There's lots to see and do at RHS Tatton Park Flower Show!

   There’s lots more information on the RHS website, as always. 

   Why not give a gift membership or treat yourself to a membership of the RHS?  Apart from the benefits you will gain, it will help the RHS grow and nurture gardening for all ages.   Find out more about joining the RHS here
   
   

   

    

2. Christmas at Blenheim Palace is on Channel 4, Saturday 2nd December at 7:25

   Posted on 4:00pm Saturday 2nd Dec 2023

   Channel 4's Christmas at Blenheim Palace is back on our screens on Saturday 2 December 2023 at 7:25

   Blenheim Palace is over 300 years old and it takes a lot of work and money to keep Blenheim Palace in good shape.  Indeed, now the aim is to undertake works to the value of £40 million over the next 10 years so that Blenheim can preserve the World Heritage Site.  It’s a Baroque property with an extensive collection of portraits, furniture, sculpture and tapestry.  A charitable trust manages it all, inside and out.

   Blenheim welcomes over 900,000 visitors a year - a third of them in the festive season.  And the palace is to become the stage for Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, The Snow Queen.  Each state room represents different parts of the story. 

   It's a vital part of the calendar for securing Blenheim's future - a critical time for the staff as they work to make everything perfect!  With 12 artificial Christmas trees and over 100 more trees to follow, the Collections team need to move the priceless collection out of harm's way - centuries of portraits and Japanese vases.  You wouldn't want to drop one of them.
   
   There’s lots going on at Blenheim Palace over Christmas. 

   You could take out an Annual Pass or a Privilege Pass and you can see the benefits of each here. And there are gift vouchers here for these passes.

   Blenheim has a five year pledge to combat climate change, which you can find out about here.

   Well, many of us enjoy the build up to Christmas, with the music, the decorations, get-togethers, greetings to send, the thought of several days off in a row.  And equally many people don't - the thought of those get-togethers, finding the right present, listening to the same Christmas music wherever you are....!!
