Each June, judges from our 'commercial' team have the enviable task of visiting all of Godalming's pub gardens, shops and cafes to view their outdoor spaces and hanging baskets.

Accompanied by Godalming's mayor, we make our way through the High Street and into Farncombe and are always thrilled to see so much floral decadence - from the town's superb beer gardens, to the Gertrude Jekyll-designed Museum garden and the many shops along the way, there are hanging baskets aplenty and always something to admire.

For this category, there is no need to enter, but if you do have a commercial property that is perhaps a little hidden away, please do let our team know by emailing enquiries@godalminginbloom.org.uk. We look forward to visiting...

Date of this year's judging visits: 19th June 2026
