Please also speak to our friendly Visitor Information staff and Stewards at the show for any further help and advice.


Use of personal mobility vehicles

Visitors are welcome to bring their own mobility scooters but should be mindful of uneven surfaces in Depot Mayfield e.g. small dents/drains so scooters shouldn't be driven at speed.

Please note there won’t be facilities to charge scooters so please ensure scooters are fully charged before your visit. There also won’t be anywhere to store personal mobility scooters.

Wheelchairs and mobility scooters are not available to hire at RHS Urban Show. Visitors are welcome to bring their own personal mobility scooters or wheelchairs to help them get around.

Access to Showground

The RHS Urban Show is an immersive experience that uses projection, lighting and sound to create a sensory experience in a large indoor building with limited national daylight and varying light levels.
