Chelsea in Bloom 2026 – 18th – 24th May
Chelsea in Bloom, the world-class floral art show and London’s largest free flower festival will return this spring with a theme that’s truly cosmic: ‘Out of this World’.
Prepare for Chelsea to be transformed into an intergalactic wonderland as more than 125 shops, restaurants, pubs and hotels from Jessica McCormack, Smythson, RIXO, Lululemon and Trinny London to The Trafalgar, New Forms and Space NK, unveil spectacular floral displays inspired by the allure of space travel, astrology and spiritual symbolism.
Produced by Cadogan in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), Chelsea in Bloom extends the Chelsea Flower Show out into the local neighbourhood. In addition to the 125 participating businesses, Cadogan will once again commission six large-scale floral art installations in key locations that promise to be more extraordinary than ever – including a spectacular Zodiac-inspired constellation at Sloane Square; a UFO hovering over Pavilion Road; lunar-landscape at Duke of York Square and mythical 4m dragon and Pegasus on Sloane Street. On the King’s Road, an enormous floral globe seen from space honours David Attenborough’s 100th birthday in May.
Complimentary walking tours and rickshaw rides will be available once more, through visiting the Chelsea in Bloom Information Point on Sloane Square.
Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit awards will be granted to participants by RHS and lifestyle judges, alongside the top awards for ‘Best Floral Display’, ‘Highly Commended’ and the ‘Innovation Award’. Winners will be announced on Tuesday 19th May.
Voting for the ‘People’s Champion’ is decided by the public and online voting will open from 5pm on Monday 18th May and close at midnight on Thursday 21st May 2026. Everyone is encouraged to vote!
