How to get last minute Chelsea Flower Show tickets 2026
You can still nab tickets for the Chelsea Flower Show on the RHS website, with limited options available. You can also turn up in person to see if there are any ticket returns available to snap up on the day, but our advice is not to leave it up to chance!
The RHS website also warns that ticket availability doesn't update in real time, so if you have tickets in your basket which don't go through at checkout, it may mean they've already gone. At the moment it looks like the only public tickets are for the Friday general admission, although dining and other experiences are also options. But keep checking!
You can also find tickets to other RHS events taking place throughout the year, including the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival and more on the RHS website.
