I have been told today that there are complaints regarding the Harrogate Spring Show. Apparently there are works taking place and some of the growers have pulled out of the show? Their site is not specific but I think there are problems with parking.

This note is on the show website in relation to the lack of early opening times for disabled visitors:
"Opening times
Due to building work on the showground and subsequent changes to the lay-out of the 2016 Spring Flower Show, we are not able to offer any early visitor admission. The show will be open to the public from 9.30am."

Hello Frazer, I was told at Pottertons that they would not be attending.

Potterton's cancelled some time ago - I'm told Edrom not attending either, though they're not on the list Frazer gives.
