Court Hey Park, 11am – 5pm Sunday 7th August 2011
This year will be the 13th Knowsley Flower Show, which is now recognised as the largest free horticultural show of its kind in the North West with a visitor figure of 18,000 people in 2010.
As well as a giant floral marquee—which is always a blaze of colour and which houses over 400 exhibits—there is a fantastic array of entertainment and attractions on offer, including falconry displays, guided walks, a woodworker, craft demonstrations, dog obedience, arts workshops and circus skills. A large craft marquee will feature in the show along with many trade stands ranging from garden centres to conservatories. The show also includes children’s fairground rides, the Youth Arts Friendship field with live music, dance and activities including jewellery making and samba drumming. There is a ‘gardener’s question time’ where you can seek gardening tips, and a large farmers’s market… in a nutshell a great day out for all the family.
This year’s show is expected to be bigger and better than ever. If you’ve never visited the show before you will be in for a pleasant surprise.
The show is set in the grounds of Court Hey Park—home of National Wildflower Centre and former residence of the late William Gladstone.
