Recognise this Primula or Polyanthus?
 

Can anybody tell me what this is please. As a very inexperienced
gardener, I think its a primula or a polyanthus, but I'd be interested
to know which and also if anybody recognises the variety.

Probably both! Primula is the genus which includes the plants called
polyanthus. If it has multiple flowers per stem, then it will be
called a polyanthus - if not, it will often be called a primula, and
could well be a primrose hybrid.

It's a very common colour for modern polyanthus, so don't bet on it
being a named variety.
