The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and Bramblecrest, the premium outdoor furniture brand, have announced a major extension to RHS by Bramblecrest, a special RHS collection of dining, lounging and reclining outdoor furniture and accessories launched to great acclaim in July 2024.

The system of naming the various furniture sets after famous RHS gardens continues in this collection with RHS Hyde (named after RHS Garden Hyde Hall in Essex) and RHS Harlow (a reference to RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Yorkshire), both launching in early 2027.

Replacing and updating the previous RHS Bridgewater set is RHS Hyde, a wonderful addition to courtyards and walled gardens and, once again, a homage to classic English garden design with a timeless style. A cast aluminium set – aluminium is favoured due to its recyclable properties – this truly traditional take on outdoor dining and lounging is available in a palette of seven heritage-inspired colours.

RHS Harlow is a new woven set in five colourways. Inspired by RHS Garden Harlow Carr, RHS Harlow combines intricate fine loom weaving with a timeless, traditional design. Durable materials are paired with season-proof cushions for lasting comfort and performance, while the refined woven finish adds depth and character to every piece.

The very popular selection of scatter cushions accompanying this collection is also to be expanded, again using designs inspired by artwork from the RHS Lindley Collections, the world’s finest collection of botanical art. As before, the scatter cushions will be filled with certified recycled fibres, and most of the outer cushion covers will be made from 70% recycled plastic bottles.

And that’s not all! York – a popular Bramblecrest premium cantilever parasol that combines refined design with exceptional performance – will join the RHS by Bramblecrest collection. As a highly appropriate addition to the outdoor living theme of the collection, it will receive an RHS endorsement.

The RHS name will appear on all the new products, which join the existing RHS Wisley and RHS Rosemoor sets.

The new additions to the RHS by Bramblecrest collections will be previewed at the Summer Outdoor Living Exhibition (SOLEX), the biggest three-day event in the outdoor living trade calendar, taking place from 7-9 July at the NEC in Birmingham. They will arrive at garden centres and online at www.bramblecrest.com from early 2027. A selection of the RHS by Bramblecrest products can also be seen on the Bramblecrest stand at RHS Chelsea Flower Show next spring (18-22 May).

Bramblecrest, based in South West England, is a leading UK designer and wholesaler of premium garden furniture and accessories, with a passion for outdoor living. Since its beginnings as a company started by two friends in 2000, Bramblecrest has enjoyed continuous growth and now boasts a team of over 60 talented people in its Cotswolds HQ serving outlets in the UK and Europe.

Underlining its UK craft and sustainability credentials, the Cotswold-based company is in the process of becoming fully employee-owned and is working with Ecologi, which plants a tree for every Bramblecrest set sold, with over 110,000 sets sold and trees planted to date.

Bramblecrest not only supports a strong customer base but also supplies furniture to the leisure and hospitality industries and can be found in premier sporting venues, residential establishments and hotels across the UK.

Tim Pennell, Head of Sales and Marketing, Bramblecrest, says: “After the success of the first RHS by Bramblecrest collection, we were delighted to have the opportunity to again combine our expertise in garden and conservatory furniture with a name that is synonymous with a love of gardens and outdoor living. We’re sure our customers will love these extensions to this popular collection.”

Cathy Snow, RHS Licensing Manager, adds: “Our first collaboration with Bramblecrest was a big success, so we were very receptive to the idea of extending and enhancing this range of innovative, high-quality outdoor furniture. The new additions have exceeded our expectations. We expect a very strong consumer response in the run-up to summer 2027.”
