Make a plan around the right edition

Start with whether you need a public-day or members’ ticket.

Then choose the visit length and check access before booking the rest of the day. Start with the announcement below, then decide whether you need admission, a reservation or a place along a public route.

A date in a search result can belong to a completed edition. Check the year on the organiser’s page before sharing it with your group or paying for travel.

Next edition: Dates to be confirmed — this source check needs review.

Edition announcement source checked . All times Europe/London. Separately dated archive notes retain their own checks.

Source review needed. This planning check is older than seven London days or unavailable. Older event checks are excluded below; verify current details with the linked organisers.

What is actually confirmed?

Members’ days are 18–19 May; public days are 20–22 May. The published main hours are 08:00–20:00, with Saturday closing at 17:30. Chelsea Late on Friday 21 May is a separate 17:30–22:00 choice. Read your ticket type rather than treating every session as interchangeable.

The checked RHS page lists public tickets from £61 and member tickets from £48. A “from” price is not every date’s price; membership is a separate product.

Choose the right kind of day

Keep your next step practical

Save the official page and the instructions that apply to your booking.

A festival window does not mean every activity happens every day, and a tournament date does not identify a particular match. If the timetable is not published, leave the exact start out of your plan rather than filling the gap with last year’s time.

Build a day that still works

Pick one nearby place for a break and agree how your group will get home.

For access needs, check the event entrance and the transport journey separately; a familiar station does not guarantee a step-free route to the viewing area. The transport guide explains the options, but the operator’s current notices and the organiser’s arrival instructions control the actual journey.

Questions, answered

Is the next edition confirmed?

18–22 May 2027. Members’ days are 18–19 May; public days are 20–22 May. The published main hours are 08:00–20:00, with Saturday closing at 17:30. Chelsea Late on Friday 21 May is a separate 17:30–22:00 choice. Read your ticket type rather than treating every session as interchangeable.

Does this page guarantee a ticket?

No. An official edition announcement is different from an available ticket, reserved slot or invitation. Use the organiser’s current booking instructions.

Can I use an old programme to plan the visit?

Use it for background only. Routes, buildings, sessions, access and admission can change between editions; wait for the current instructions before relying on those details.
