Graham Browne, the chair of the organising committee for the volunteer-led event, said that his show and the RHS’s one are separate and different.
“We are run by a committee of 15 people. All are volunteers and not one is paid. The RHS have a paid staff and are a big organisation and it’s a business,” he said.
Both the RHS show and the traditional event offer free entry for children, as well as discounts for students and groups.
Mr Browne confirmed the volunteer-run show would be back in 2027.
A spokesperson said: “The RHS is excited to work with local committees and communities to expand the Sandringham Flower Show in 2026 to five days to include more horticultural spectacle, generate a greater national awareness and increase visitor numbers to support and celebrate local businesses and organisations at the show.”
The Sandringham Estate has been contacted for comment.
