During the 1840s, Stonehenge hosted popular dahlia shows attracting crowds of thousands of people. The historic shows involved a variety of competitions, including the creation of sculptures made entirely from flowers and the cultivation of prize-winning dahlias.

Head to Stonehenge as they recreate this colourful part of the Stonehenge story. Discover expertly crafted floral sculptures, admire locally grown dahlias, and vote for your favourite in their take on a traditional show. Experience a dahlia meadow and take a selfie amongst their breath-taking floral displays.

The event will also feature two fresh floral mannequins designed by Fleurs de Villes which have been based on figures from Stonehenge’s recent past.

Arrive dressed to impress, just as the Victorian visitors would have done, and enjoy the sounds of the Shrewton Silver Band who will be performing at the visitor centre on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Included with Stonehenge admission. Book online and save 15%. English Heritage Members get free entry.

Please note: The Grand Stonehenge Dahlia Show will close at 5pm on Sunday 29th September. If you would like to add some dazzling dahlias to your garden, there will be opportunities to purchase cut and potted plants from 3pm.
