Falmouth Spring Flower Show 2026

The 116th Falmouth Spring Flower Show is taking place on Saturday 21 March and Sunday 22 March 2026 at the Princess Pavilion, where dazzling spring floral displays will be accompanied by intoxicating scents.

This FREE event brings together some of the Cornwall’s top gardens, dedicated enthusiasts and those who are just discovering the joy of plants, as well as an array of inspiring trade stands to indulge horticultural passions.

In the 1900’s this spectacular Show was the premier season opener for the whole county, visited by royalty and renowned public figures, such as the Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton (click HERE to find out more about the history of the show). 

After many years of service, the volunteer Falmouth Spring Flower Show Committee retired in 2019. Falmouth Town Council has since taken on custodianship of the Show.

The Show’s long-standing heritage will continue to be recognised and celebrated, while the event is developed to engage a broader audience. The aim is to welcome people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds — from professional gardeners and experienced enthusiasts to those discovering an interest in plants for the first time.

Based at Princess Pavilion, there is something for everyone, with the bonus of four acres of glorious gardens to explore and delicious food available from The Garden Room. It is a fantastic opportunity to come together and celebrate a love of plants and everything that they offer.
