00:00 Hi there, it's John Blow from the Yorkshire Post here and I'm going to take you through

00:03 what's happening in the week ahead. First of all, the Royal Horticultural Society's

00:08 Chelsea Flowers show gets underway tomorrow. It's been held in the grounds of the Royal

00:12 Hospital Chelsea in London every year since 1913 apart from gaps during the two world

00:17 wars and in 2020. All large gardens at this year's show, which is taking place from

00:23 tomorrow and running until Saturday, have gone through a green garden audit to reduce

00:27 the environmental footprint. Meanwhile, the International Booker Prize 2024 winner will

00:33 be announced tomorrow. Each year the prize aims to introduce readers to the best novels

00:38 and short story collections from around the world that have been translated into English

00:43 and published in the UK or Ireland. And Yorkshire is the place to be if you're looking for some

00:49 live music to see over the coming weekend. Leeds Jazz Festival starts on Thursday and

00:55 goes through to next week while on Saturday Live at Leeds in the Park takes place at Temple

00:59 Newsam and Land by the Cukes. Elsewhere, the Swelldale Festival gets underway in North

01:04 Yorkshire and in South Yorkshire. People can still catch the remainder of the Sheffield

01:09 Chamber Music Festival.
