🧠 Fun Cabbie Facts About Windsor and the Flower Show
The Royal Windsor Flower Show has roots going back to 1908, and it remains a favourite among royal circles and locals alike.
Windsor Great Park covers over 5,000 acres, originally set aside for royal hunting - today it's one of the loveliest places for a country stroll after the show.
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world which sits just a stone’s throw away. You might even spot a royal guest among the flower beds.
The Queen herself once opened the show, adding even more prestige to this charming event.
The show’s friendly, informal atmosphere makes it a real contrast to Chelsea - perfect if you love flowers but fancy a more relaxed crowd.
