Harrogate Spring Flower Show returns next month.

Harrogate Spring Flower Show has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best Event or Live Experience category at the Group Leisure & Travel Awards 2026.

The popular gardening event, held annually at the Great Yorkshire Events Centre, was selected for the shortlist following nominations from readers of Group Leisure & Travel Magazine.

A spokesperson for Harrogate Spring Flower Show said:

“We’re incredibly proud to be in the running and grateful to everyone who has supported the show,” the spokesperson said.

“We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for the final in June.”

The Best Event or Live Experience category recognises standout events in the UK and overseas that have delivered memorable experiences for group visitors.

Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Friday 12th June 2026 at the Royal Lancaster London, with a drinks reception beginning at 7pm ahead of a dinner starting at 7.30pm. You can vote here.
