Special Guests

We're delighted to be welcoming special guests to Chorley Flower Show 2026.

Watch out for more information coming soon.

One of Britain’s best known and best loved gardeners, Charlie Dimmock, will be heading to this year’s Chorley Flower Show on Saturday 1 August. 

Having first come to the nation’s attention on BBC1’s incredibly popular Ground Force filmed both here and in the US, Charlie has gone on to present amongst other things, Cheer for Charlie, Charlie and the Duchess, Garden Invaders and Chelsea Flower Show, for the BBC.  

At Chorley Flower Show, visitors can look forward to inspiring talks from Charlie, along with the chance to meet her. 

We’ll be welcoming Martin Fish, Jill Fish and Jonathan Moseley back for all three days of the Chorley Flower Show as they share their expert knowledge and top tips with visitors, in The Potting Shed Garden Theatre.
