Dress Code

Whilst there is no dress code for visiting Chelsea Flower Show, most guests typically dress in smart casual attire. Women might opt for a day-dress or skirt with floral print and men may chose a polo or collared shirt with chinos and a light jacket. With the unpredictable British weather, the best advice would be to layer in case of warm or cold spells.

Whilst Chelsea Flower Show is relatively small in terms of the overall footprint, you’re going to be doing an awful lot of walking, standing and slow-moving during the day. Wearing comfortable footwear is key to getting the most out of exploring the gardens.
