This offer is valid from 28th until 30th May 2010

The world’s favourite Flower Show will blossom once again in Chelsea, from Tuesday the 25th to Saturday the 29th of May – and we’re offering a special two night package to help you make the most of this wonderful event.

Includes:

• Two nights accommodation in the luxurious room or suite of your choice
• Full English breakfast on every day of your stay
• Complimentary transfer to Chelsea Flower show
