Visitors to Chorley Flower Show 2026 can look forward to a blossoming line-up of special guests at this year’s event, taking place from 31 July to 2 August.
After recently revealing that Charlie Dimmock will be attending the show on Saturday 1 August, organiser Chorley Council has now announced even more special guests.
National television presenter, Chartered Horticulturalist and bestselling author David Domoney will be heading to the show on Sunday 2 August, delivering an inspiring programme of expert talks, audience Q&A sessions and a meet and greet.
David, who inspires people to become more involved and engaged with plants and nature, is a regular face on national television, presenting shows including ITV’s ‘Love Your Garden’ (Britain’s most viewed TV Gardening show), and the Sunday Morning show ‘Love Your Weekend’, and serves as the resident garden presenter on ITV’s flagship show ‘This Morning’.
BBC Radio Lancashire will be at the show on Friday 31 July, as well-known presenter Sharon Hartley broadcasts her show live from the event, bringing her trademark warmth and humour to the day’s activities. Throughout the live broadcast, Sharon will speak with visitors, exhibitors and contributors, shining a spotlight on the stories, people and experiences that make Chorley Flower Show unique.
It was also announced last month that firm favourites of the show Jonathan Moseley, Martin Fish and Jill Fish will also be back for 2026, for all three days of the show, sharing their expert knowledge on the Potting Shed Stage.
Caroline Wolfenden, Director of Change & Delivery at Chorley Council said: “What a line-up! We can’t wait to welcome special guests from the worlds of gardening, TV and radio to this year’s Chorley Flower Show, and there’s more to be revealed so keep an eye out.
