Chorley Flower Show dates and venue
The show returns to Astley Park for three days, running from 31 July through 2 August. Astley Park is the confirmed venue in Chorley, making the event a local option for families planning an outing during the summer holidays.
The listing does not include a street address, start or finish time, admission price, booking information, transport guidance or accessibility details. Anyone planning around a particular time, travelling with specific access needs or wanting to confirm whether entry must be arranged in advance should look for updated information before setting out.
Floral displays, gardens and family entertainment
The central focus of the event will be its floral displays and show gardens. Together, these offer a weekend built around flowers, garden design and seasonal colour, with the displays providing the main reason to visit.
The programme will also include entertainment and competitions, giving families more to see beyond the gardens and floral exhibits. The source describes the show as offering something for the whole family, although it does not provide a detailed timetable or list of individual activities.
This means the event may suit visitors looking for a broad family day out rather than a single scheduled performance. However, the available listing does not confirm when particular entertainment or competitions will take place, so visitors should check the programme if they have a specific feature in mind.
