RLX Construction has secured a new project to build Horatio’s Garden Sheffield & East at The Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Centre, located at Northern General Hospital in Sheffield. This project is particularly noteworthy as it marks the one-year anniversary of the garden’s debut, where it won the Best in Show award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Significantly enlarged for its new home in Sheffield, the garden will provide a therapeutic outdoor space for patients, their families, and hospital staff, enhancing the healing environment at the spinal injuries centre. It will be the eighth garden created by the charity Horatio’s Garden which nurtures the wellbeing of people after spinal injury in beautiful, vibrant sanctuaries within the heart of NHS spinal injury centres.
Horatio Garden
“Horatio’s Garden Sheffield will really change people’s lives. All of us, patients, families and staff, are really excited.” – Mr Pradeep Thumbikat, Consultant Surgeon in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
“I cant emphasise enough how brilliant it will be to have a Horatio’s Garden here. I’d use it as much in January as in June!” – Keith, patient of The Princess Royal Spinal Cord Injuries Centre
Horatio’s Garden Sheffield & East has been designed by Charlotte Harris and Hugo Bugg of Harris Bugg Studio, who also created the charity’s award-winning Chelsea garden, and it is inspired by the history, geography and industry of its Yorkshire home.
We look forward to sharing progress through the coming months!

Structural support works at The Sheffield Children’s Hospital
RLX Construction have successfully carried out essential enabling works to a number of supporting concrete columns within Sheffield Children’s Hospital. These modifications provide critical structural support for the newly installed helicopter pad which will serve the hospital. The project presented unique challenges due to its execution across a number of areas within a live hospital environment, requiring meticulous planning and coordination to ensure minimal disruption to hospital operations while ensuring the safety and comfort of patients and staff.
