Ayr Flower Show – Fri 3 to Sun 5 August 2012

Scotland’s answer to Chelsea Flower Show

ABBA have teamed up with Ayr Flower Show this year, as their B&B accommodation provider.

 

Held in the beautiful setting of Rozelle Estate with its feature trees, ponds, woodland walks and the glorious Rozelle Mansion House and Galleries, the event draws thousands of visitors from all over Scotland and beyond. They come to see the cream of British horticulture, marvel at stunning gardens created specially for the show, sample speciality food and drinks from throughout the UK, enjoy a range of family entertainment, or just have a great day out for all the family.
