Gigantic Garden to mark 100 years of Southport Flower Show

Giant inflatable flowers are set to bring a splash of colour to Southport town centre this August.

The ‘Gigantic Garden’ display will celebrate the centenary of Southport Flower Show, the largest independent flower show in the UK.

Visitors to the town centre will be able to enjoy three towering sunflowers, an impressive wildflower, and a striking electric-blue dahlia flower.

The display will provide the perfect selfie opportunity for locals, visitors, and green-fingered flower fanatics.

Southport BID (Business Improvement District) have organised the display, which will be in place at the Town Hall Gardens, Southport on Thursday 15, Friday 16, and Saturday 17 August.

Gigantic Flowers for Southport Flower Show Celebrations

Rachel Fitzgerald, Southport BID CEO said:

“Southport Flower Show is an important piece of Southport’s heritage and identity. 100 years of success is an incredible achievement and a milestone that is worth recognising.

The Gigantic Garden will and encourage Flower Show attendees to engage with the town centre during their visit to Southport, and highlight the positive collaboration between the event and the local businesses.

Initiatives like this are all made possible through the investments of the Southport BID business community.”

Southport Flower Show returns to Victoria Park from Thursday 15 August until Sunday August 18, between 10am and 6pm.

The Show is a vital part of Southport’s events calendar, attracting over 55,000 visitors into the area each year and generating over £4.5m of revenue for the local economy.

The 100th edition of the Show is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever before, with four fun-filled days of flowers, food and family entertainment.

Culinary stars such as Simon Rimmer and Nisha Katona are set to delight crowds, after Southport’s very own Adele Roberts opens the Show on Thursday.
