ORGANISERS of Taunton Flower Show have announced a special offer to celebrate the launch of tickets for their 2025 show.
Tickets went on sale on Thursday, November 18, and visitors to the show can now take advantage of the special launch price of £15 per ticket, for Friday or Saturday. This discounted price is available until January 31.
Reflecting on the 2024 show, Chairman Steve Froud said: "Our 2024 show was such a fantastic day out and we are so grateful for all the volunteers who keep the show going and for all the visitors who came out to support us this year."
Founded in 1831, this will be the 194th Taunton Flower Show and the charity is upbeat about the plans for this year’s show, despite the challenges of increased contractor costs.

Steve commented: "We rely on the revenue from each show to fund the next one, as we receive no public funding. Costs have increased by 40% since COVID and, although we had to increase ticket prices in 2024, it has helped us stabilise the charities finances after a difficult few years."
"Our volunteers and show team are working hard on our 2025 show already and we are excited to showcase some local musical talent as well as some amazing arena acts."
Show Manager Beccy Fox added: "We are particularly excited to welcome All Steps Formation Riding team to the arena in 2025, who will be featured on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent."
"The competition marquee is growing in reputation, with competitors and judges alike coming from further afield to showcase their horticultural brilliance and beautiful floral displays."
Children can book free with a paying adult and all activities within the show are free to enjoy. Details of how to support the show by becoming a member, volunteer, sponsor or trader are also available on their website www.tauntonfs.co.uk.
Trader applications are already open, and the show reported that almost 40% of the trade spaces are booked, with lots of visitor favourites returning for another year. The competition schedule is due to be released in January 2025.
