You can now get your tickets for the new Chorley Flower Show to be held in the historic grounds of Astley Hall, Coach House and Park.

The event will see the unveiling of Chorley's award-winning RHS Chelsea Flower Show exhibit, The Evaders' Garden, as well as a once in a lifetime opportunity to see paintings up close and personal in Astley Hall.

It also features a professional exhibitors' marquee, horticultural trade stands, a chance to meet celebrity gardeners Bob Flowerdew and David Domoney and a gardening theatre. There's also an amateur marquee, which you still have chance to enter, a vintage fair with heater-skelter and shows from children's television characters.

Tickets are £4 adult and £2 children - it will be free parking on the day with spaces on West Way playing fields and a park and ride from Botany Bay.
