RHS London Harvest Festival Show

The RHS has a busy schedule in October with not one but 2 shows. Both are two days long based at the RHS Halls in central London.

The first is the RHS London Harvest Festival Show on the 8 and 9 of October. The RHS London Autumn Harvest Festival Show is billed as the perfect place to get ideas and inspiration on late summer gardening and growing fruit and vegetables. The show includes the now traditional RHS Autumn Fruit and Vegetable Competition, with more than 130 classes, including grapes, apples, pears and vegetables, everything from beans to turnips.

As last year the is a giant pumpkin competition and displays of fresh pumpkins and squashes grown by schools in the RHS Campaign for School Gardening. There will also be an apple identification expert to help you identify the trees in your garden plus a selection of apples grown at Wisley.

If you are travelling into London for the shows and wish to make a short break of it then why not stay in one of the many conveniently located Holiday Inn Hotels in London, for example in Mayfair, which is only 12 minutes away, there are two good hotels in Kensignton, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn, or how about the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the City. Any of these would make a great base for a short stay whilst attending the show, and with the transport links so easy to use will make getting to the show at Vincent Square easy to manage.

More information on the Harvest show can be found on the RHS website.

Enjoy the show!
