Chelsea in Bloom

MONDAY 18TH – Sunday 24th May

For Chelsea in Bloom’s Out of This World theme, we’re proud to pay tribute to David Bowie – former Chelsea resident and global music icon – with a striking floral installation inspired by his legendary Ziggy Stardust persona.

This year’s installation here at The Cadogan Arms celebrates Bowie’s fearless creativity, theatrical style, and lasting influence on music, fashion, and culture. Created by Ricky Paul Flowers, our bold 3D floral sculpture will bring Bowie’s alter ego to life, featuring soft pink preserved rose petals, fresh floral elements, and his instantly recognisable lightning bolt.

To mark the occasion, we’ve partnered with The Lost Explorer on a limited-edition Bowie-inspired cocktail menu, with drinks including the Figgy Stardust, Starman Sour, Life on Mars, and Space Oddity.

Visit us from Monday 18 May to Sunday 24 May to experience the installation in full bloom, and keep an eye on our socials for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the display.
