Come and see what the buzz is about! This February, we are hosting a Primrose Festival, transforming our Bedding House into a spectacular celebration of one of Britain’s best-loved spring flowers.
🌸 A Spectacular Display
We’re filling the space with a “sea of colour”. With 10 trolleys of fresh stock arriving specifically for this event, you’ll be able to wander through hundreds of varieties, including brand-new 2026 introductions you won’t find in the supermarkets.

The “People’s Choice” Vote: We want your input! Our Plant Manager, Becky, is planting up stunning statement bowls of individual varieties. Come and vote for your favourite to help us identify the standout blooms of the season.

An Immersive Experience: We’ve dedicated a massive space in the Bedding House to ensure a truly impressive display for this event.
🎤 Meet the Experts: Exclusive Talks
We are delighted that specialist growers will be on hand for three days during the festival. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn directly from the people behind these plants and gain some expert insight into the 2026 varieties.
