Southport Flower Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southport Flower Show held at Victoria Park, Southport, Merseyside is the largest independent flower show in the UK.[citation needed] It was originally started in 1924 by the local council, but since 1986 it has been operated by Southport Flower Show company, which is a registered charity. It is held annually for four days in late August and has attendances of over 80,000. Next year's show (August 21st until 24th August 2008) will be themed around HORTIculture to promote Liverpool's status as City of Culture for 2008. Patrons of Southport Flower Show include Diarmuid Gavin, David Bellamy, Professor Stefan Buczacki and Roddy Llewellyn.
