Join the Northern Belle for its annual journey to the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show, a celebration of exquisite garden design and breathtaking floral displays. Blooming lovely!
From the moment you step aboard the train over a red carpet laid across the station platform, you will feel like royalty.
Your adventure begins with a sparkling Mimosa cocktail, served by your steward as you settle into your plush seat.
A delectable three-course brunch follows as you travel to London’s Victoria Station, where a private transfer whisks you to the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital on the banks of the Thames.
Keep an eye out for the Chelsea Pensioners in their striking red uniforms as you wander among the exhibits, mingling with royalty (Princess Catherine is known to be a keen admirer), showbiz personalities and the very best of the gardening world.
Later, rejoin the Northern Belle for a champagne reception before savouring a sumptuous six-course dinner accompanied by fine wine on the homeward journey.
And don’t forget the entertainment: musicians serenade guests from table to table, while the onboard conjurer works his spellbinding magic, adding yet another touch of wonder to an unforgettable day.
You don’t need green fingers to marvel at the spectacular displays and enjoy the exclusive shopping.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were among the guests in 2025, along with football legend Sir David Beckham, Dame Joanna Lumley and actor David Tennant.
On arrival, guests may choose to travel by coach or walk with a guide to and from the flower show from the station, which is a pleasant walk of about 20 minutes. You will be given a route guide detailing the route and points of interest. Many guests choose to stretch their legs after a long journey.
Due to traffic around the station coach transfer can take longer than walking.
We will contact you around 8 weeks in advance to discuss your choice.
The carriages are made up of tables of two and tables of four. The private tables for two are very popular and therefore sell out quickly. Please see the table configurations for bookings of two passengers below and call us on 0203 640 8887 to check availability for the private tables.
