The Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show continues to attract large audiences, with the event reported to draw more than 150,000 visitors and millions of TV viewers, and to feature high-profile attendees. However, some visitors and commentators say the experience has become “too much” this year. Criticism focuses on the scale of the crowds and an apparent rise in influencer attendance, with concerns that these factors may be affecting how comfortable and accessible the show feels. In response to the feedback, organisers are being urged to consider changes to how the event is run, including potential steps to improve crowd management and overall visitor experience. The issues raised do not dispute the show’s popularity and celebrity appeal, but they highlight dissatisfaction from segments of the public about current conditions on-site. The reports frame the discussion as a call for the Royal Horticultural Society to review and potentially revamp aspects of the event to address concerns related to attendance levels and the changing nature of promotion and viewing.
