LONDON’S FESTIVAL OF FLORALS

Did you know that floral scents are scientifically proven to make one feel happier? That's why spring is always so marvellous – and it's a particularly special time of year in London too. The calendar is packed with some of the world's greatest floral events, right here on our doorstep.
Should you find yourself passing through, do make sure to stop by a Penhaligon's boutique too. From the mysterious rose of Halfeti, to the floral earthiness of Bluebell, Penhaligon’s offers a myriad of floral fragrances to fill one’s world with joy. A day spent basking in the sunshine and soaking up the honeyed haze of fresh-cut flowers sounds like just the ticket, don't you think?

THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW: 24-28TH MAY
From a single tent display in 1913, the Chelsea Flower Show has since become known as one of the biggest flower shows in the world. With royalty often in attendance, the magical gardens and impeccably groomed displays showcase floral arrangements at their finest. Though, we should mention that endless shopping is available to those who prefer fresh manicures over green fingers, including our very own Penhaligon’s boutique on Kings Road.
COVENT GARDEN IN BLOOM 19TH MAY-24TH JUNE
The boutiques and restaurants of Covent Garden market blossom with extravagant floral displays and riotous colour. Known as Westminster Abbey’s original orchard garden, the iconic hub transforms back to its original glory with unique displays and floral flourishes. Not to mention botanical cocktails and floral-infused dishes are waiting to greet you around every corner.
THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 20TH-22ND MAY
Set upon the historic grounds of Hyland’s House, we admit that this particular show isn’t so much in London as it is but a stone's throw away. Nevertheless, it matters little where you are in the country when you’re surrounded by such mesmerizing displays from fellow floral fanatics. Stroll through exhibitions and even take home a few potted plants or handmade trinkets to commemorate a day in the countryside.
A sweet-scented Rose, ready for the picking. Not so innocent after all.
