Get involved in Britain In Bloom 2025

The countdown is on to Britain in Bloom Judging Day on 12th August!

We are looking for volunteers to help with our next Tidy Up Day on 5th August, or to water planters or help with garden maintenance.

Sevenoaks has been chosen to represent the South & South East region in the 2025 RHS Britain in Bloom UK Finals in the Town Centre category. Sevenoaks is one of just 44 finalists, selected from across the UK.

Finalists will compete to be crowned winner in one of the eight categories, and one of the category winners will then go on to be named Britain in Bloom Overall Winner for 2025. The winners of each category will be announced at an awards ceremony in October.

Consultation on the draft Town Centre Masterplan officially launched at Sevenoaks Society's Community Open Day on Saturday 28th June 2025 at the Stag Plaza, and will remain open until 11:59pm on 11th August 2025.

Information Boards
Online survey

The Masterplans will build upon the work previously completed in the Sevenoaks Town Neighbourhood Plan, identifying key opportunities for future development – including design guidance, enhancements to cultural attractions, improvements to the pedestrian environment, any potential traffic mitigation measures and opportunities for greener infrastructure to enhance the biodiversity of the areas. The key purpose is to set out a clear vision - informed and endorsed by local people - for what future development should look like within the Town.
