This year the International Orchid Show will take place as part of the BBC Gardeners’ World Live (BBC GWL) Exhibition (and the BBC Good Food Exhibition) at the NEC from Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th June. It is hoped that this popular and successful show can continue to run for many more years to come and that this new venue will prove popular with orchid enthusiasts.
Only OSGB members can order tickets for BBC GWL via the OSGB website; for instructions, please go to the GWL 2024 tab and log into the members’ only area. Don’t leave it to the last minute – orders must be received by the Treasurer no later than Friday 24th May.
Parking is not free at the NEC; it will cost £8 per day if ordered in advance, or £10 on the day. There will also be other events happening within both the BBC Gardeners’ World Live Exhibition and the BBC Good Food Exhibition. Many of these events are free, but some will cost £4 - £5 each. Parking and events can be ordered on line via the UKIOS (www.uk-international-orchid-show.com) and BBC GWL (www.bbcgardenersworldlive.com) websites.
