The history of the Harrogate flower shows dates back to the establishment of the North of England Horticultural Society in 1911 to promote horticulture in the north. The first show was held in 1920 at the Old Winter Gardens, moving to the Valley Gardens in 1934, where it remained for over 60 years. The Spring Show now takes place at the Great Yorkshire Showground, while the Autumn Show moved to Newby Hall.

1911: The North of England Horticultural Society (NEHS) was formed to promote horticulture in the northern climate.

1920: The society staged its first show, a success that led to Harrogate becoming the central location for future events.

1934: The show moved to Harrogate’s Valley Gardens, where it was held for over 60 years.

WWII: Show activities were limited to the promotion of “Dig for Victory” materials.

1970s: The Great Autumn Flower Show was launched.

1990s: The show moved from the Valley Gardens to its current location at the Great Yorkshire Showground due to space and demand.

2019: The Autumn Flower Show moved to its new venue, Newby Hall, which now allows visitors to access the gardens with their show ticket.

Present: The Harrogate Spring Flower Show is held at the Great Yorkshire Showground, and the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show is held at Newby Hall.
