The Royal Exchange Manchester is joining the Manchester Flower Festival celebrations, which are returning to the city from Friday 23^rd to Monday 26^th May.

Manchester City Centre BID is hosting its eighth, much-anticipated floral event over the spring bank holiday weekend. This year’s theme is ‘Manchester and Other Great Cities Around the World’, which promises to transport visitors to nine iconic destinations from across the globe during the Floral Trail – including Paris, Mumbai, and New York.

The Royal Exchange Manchester has joined forces with designer Royal Exchange Flowers to create A Stroll Through Amsterdam – taking inspiration from the vibrant, fun and bold beauty of the Netherlands.

The building’s famous Arcade in St Anne’s Square will be transformed into an immersive experience, where guests will feel like they are wandering through the charming city. The display will feature elements of what the Dutch capital is famous for, including a canal bridge, a floral bike, a tall townhouse display, and towering tulips.

The Netherlands is a major global hub for the floral industry, so honouring its most famous city during the Flower Festival is arguably the perfect choice. Expect plenty of photo-worthy moments to highlight Amsterdam’s magnificent scenery, tourist attractions and tulip fields, all including seasonal stunning florals such as roses, peonies, and hydrangea, foliage and flowering plants.

You have the chance to win a prize worth over £600. The #AStrollThroughAmsterdam Prize Draw is live until 23.59 on Tuesday 27th May and will see one lucky winner get their hands on a Mulberry Card Holder, Astrid & Miyu Gift Card, Molton Brown Gift Set, and much more!
