Mayfield Park welcomes the first RHS urban show
The RHS has singled out Mayfield Depot for the indoor Show for its enticing proximity to the new Mayfield Park, giving Show visitors the chance to experience this rare gem in the heart of the city centre and to tap into its rich horticultural offering. Free guided park tours will be available during the week, led by the team behind the award-winning Mayfield Park. Guests will be able to hear from the designers, architects and developers responsible for Mayfield’s ongoing regeneration with the chance to hear about the future of the area.
RHS Show Manager, Lex Falleyn said: “We are really excited to be bringing the new RHS Urban Show to the centre of Manchester and to support the growing urban gardening movement already underway across Manchester, as we celebrate city gardening in all its forms. The location of the show venue, Depot Mayfield being right next door to Mayfield Park, is one of the reasons why we chose it. It is a fantastic example of ‘urban gardening’ and how disused areas in cities across the UK can be transformed into incredible public green spaces benefiting both wildlife and city dwellers, as well as having a positive impact on the environment. We hope after visiting the RHS Urban Show visitors will take the opportunity to have a guided tour of Mayfield Park to see it in all its spring glory.”
