Imagine something that is the complete opposite of Chelsea Flower Show, and you have the Urban Show in Manchester.
It’s set in an abandoned warehouse, with the only recognisable factor being in the RHS logo on the outside. Access is through some very unassuming doors, but once inside you know you’re stepping into a very different world. The entrance is dimly lit, but “flower tattoos” illuminate the walls, enticing you into this brand-new experience. That’s a good word actually, it is an experience as much as it is a flower show.
