See spectacular floral displays at Stonehenge this September as we travel back in time to the Victorian dahlia shows.
During the 1840s, Stonehenge hosted popular dahlia shows attracting crowds of thousands of people. The historic shows involved a variety of competitions, including the creation of sculptures made entirely from flowers and the cultivation of prize-winning dahlias.
Join us as we recreate this colourful part of the Stonehenge story. Discover expertly crafted floral sculptures, admire locally grown dahlias, and vote for your favourite in our take on a traditional show. Experience our dahlia meadow and take a selfie amongst our breath-taking floral displays.
The event will also feature two fresh floral mannequins designed by Fleurs de Villes which have been based on figures from Stonehenge’s recent past.
Come dressed to impress, just as the Victorian visitors would have done, and enjoy the sounds of the Shrewton Silver Band who will be performing at the visitor centre on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Shrewton Silver Band performance times
Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 September: 13:00 - 13:45 and 14:15 - 15:00.
