Sophie Allport Wins First Five-Star Stand Award at Chelsea Flower Show 2023

Sophie's Stories

Sophie Allport Wins First Five-Star Stand Award at Chelsea Flower Show 2023

We are delighted to announce that we have won our first ever five-star stand award at the famous Chelsea Flower Show this year. 

We have been attending Chelsea Flower Show since 2010 and this year launched our new Chelsea Flower Show Mug, Tea Towel, and limited-edition Print to celebrate the event.

The stand wowed judges to win a five-star award and featured a beautiful flower cloud above a stylish tablescape, and incorporated a bespoke kitchen complete with a country butler sink! (You know how much we love a sinkie - it was so much fun to create, design and set up the stand).

Sophie said: “Chelsea Flower Show is one of my favourite events of the year, and I’m so proud that this year we won a five-star award for the stand. The team have worked hard behind the scenes, and it looks truly spectacular. It’s always such a delight to meet customers at the show, and I love seeing all the garden displays and designs. I take home plenty of inspiration for the garden.

“This year is truly special for us as we partnered exclusively with The Royal Hospital Chelsea, with proceeds from the Chelsea Flower Show product range being donated to the Royal Hospital Chelsea to help look after former soldiers of the British Army. It’s such an honour to work with the Chelsea Pensioners, I love meeting them at the show and hearing all their stories.”

Sophie’s illustration of Chelsea Flower Show 2023 features the spectacular London Gate filled with delightful poppies, foxgloves, roses, and alliums in full bloom. Bumblebees dance through the sky, whilst playful hedgehogs wear royal crowns, giving a nod to the King's Coronation. Dressed in iconic scarlets, a cheerful Chelsea Pensioner enjoys the relaxed ambience of the tranquil grounds.

The Chelsea Flower Show range can be purchased from the Sophie Allport stand at Chelsea Flower Show (22nd – 27th May) or here.

 

Sophie Allport is a proud partner of the Charity, the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Sophie Allport shall pay to the Charity the sum of 10% of net sales made from the Chelsea Flower Show product range, to help look after former soldiers of the British Army.

  • Well done team! The stand looks wonderful, I feel that I could just sit down at that lovely table, have a cup of tea and feel really at home and relaxed.
