A Norfolk summer favourite returns with the 127th staging of the Sandringham Flower Show from 9am-5pm this Wednesday, with that very special royal flavour.

Not surprisingly, it's a 'must' for garden flowers, with the chance to meet television presenter Chris Bearsdshaw, show gardens, nursery displays, horticultural talks and gardening questions answere.

That's in addition to more than 200 stands, craft marquee, the Central Band of the RAF, Victoriam steam fairground and a full programme of arena (and above-arena!) events, including the Yakolevs aerobatic display team, the Jason Smyth Adrenaline Tour, falconry and dog display.

The price includes admission to the House grounds, museum and church, but Sandringham House itself is not open.
