Southport Flower Show organisers have announced that comedy legend Su Pollard will be appearing at this year’s event.
The Hi-de-Hi! star is booked to visit Victoria Park on Friday 21st August.
Su Pollard is one of Britain’s best-loved comedy performers, known for her lively personality and big stage presence. She became a household name playing Peggy Ollerenshaw in the hit BBC sitcom Hi-de-Hi! and later starred in popular shows like You Rang, M’Lord? and Oh, Doctor Beeching!. With a career spanning decades across TV, theatre, and music, she remains a firm favourite with UK audiences for her warmth and humour.
Visitors will be able to catch Su in person during the event, where she will be hosting interactive sessions.
Alan Adams, General Manager of the Southport Flower Show, said: “We are delighted to welcome Su to this year’s show. It’s a great day out and we are sure our visitors will love listening to Su’s talks and Q&As in the Garden Theatre at 1pm and 4pm.”
Su joins a packed lineup for this year’s four-day event. Gardening fans can get practical tips and inspiration from leading horticultural experts, including BBC Gardeners’ World presenters Adam Frost, Arit Anderson, and Joe Swift, alongside Lee Burkhill and Lee Connelly.
A variety of other special guests will also appear. Kevin Duala returns as the show compère, joined by Springwatch presenters Iolo Williams and Megan McCubbin, Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke, and popular children’s entertainers Andy Day and Justin Fletcher.
For food lovers, the show features live cooking demonstrations from well-known chefs including Phil Vickery, Briony May Williams, and Candice Brown. Visitors can also explore the Food Village, where more than 30 independent gourmet producers will offer samples and unique items to take home.
