Newcastle in Bloom
Newcastle first entered Bloom as a small city in 1991. This year we will have been involved with the campaign for 33 years, an achievement we are extremely proud of!
2023 marked a huge milestone in the borough's history as we celebrated the 850th anniversary of Newcastle-under-Lyme gaining the Royal Charter. This was the main theme of our campaign as well as looking to the future of Bloom to see what improvements we can all make to our environment.
In the Summer of 2023 Newcastle won it's 21st consecutive Gold award and were 'Overall Winners' in the Heart of England Regional small city category. We also had the great honour of being nominated for the RHS National UK Finals and were very proud to receive a Gold award and were crowned 'Overall Winners' out of 44 finalists from across the whole of the UK.
In 2024, for the first time, we entered in partnership with BID (Business Improvement District) where we were awarded the Gold award and were crowned 'Overall Category Winners', which has led the borough to be nominated for the RHS National UK Finals, next year in 2025.
