Join us for a fantastic day out as we return to Salisbury for the 2025 Cathedral Flower Festival, where the talented Salisbury Cathedral Flower Designers will transform this iconic building with a stunning floral display.

This year’s theme, The Spirit of Water, complements the Cathedral’s summer art exhibition, Living Water. Just as the exhibition explores the power of water and its role in shaping places and memories, the Flower Festival celebrates water in all its forms—rain, rivers, ice, and more.

This event is sure to be popular, and we’ve included the cost of entry to the festival.

After enjoying the beautiful floral displays, you’ll have free time to explore the charming city of Salisbury, named one of the world’s Top 10 Cities to visit by Lonely Planet. With its rich history, medieval buildings, museums, and riverside walks, there’s plenty to see. Take the opportunity to visit local shops, relax in one of the many cafés, or unwind at a traditional pub.

Don’t miss out on this wonderful day trip—the perfect blend of nature, art, and history!
