Old Basing and Lychpit Carnival and St Mary's Flower Festival.

Thanks to everyone who braved the showers and wind to visit our stall at this year's carnival. Also, thanks to those who donated items for the plant sale. Photos of our stalls at this year's and previous carnivals can be found in the carnival gallery.

The Show Committee also arranged an exhibit at St Mary’s Church for this year's Flower Festival. The exhibit was a recycled and updated version of the Show's "greenhouse in a wheelbarrow" that was part of the 2023 carnival procession. A photo of the exhibit can be found on the festivals and trees gallery page.
