Latest Show News

11th November 2025The AGM was held in the Pavilion Tea Room, Recreation Ground and a brief summary of the meeting can be found on the AGM page which includes the Chairman's report. Thanks to all of the non-committee members who came along to support the AGM.

October 2025The Show Committee planted a tree on the recreation ground in 2012 to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee and the Show's 150th Year. The wooden base that held the plaque rotted and the committee thanks Chris Beadle for making and installing a new one. Photos can be seen on the "Trees and Festivals" gallery page.

September 2025 Another successful Show. The judges comments in all sections were very positive and the quality of the exhibits presented them with some difficulties in choosing 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Again, it was good to see a number of new entrants, some of whom won prizes and also awards.

The number of vegetable entries was not as high as in previous years but given the hot dry summer this was only to be expected (the weather is never right for us keen gardeners!!). Numbers held up well in most other sections, particularly the handicraft and domestic sections as well as the recently introduced original writing section. Unfortunately, the number of entries in the childrens section was low and the Committee will be putting its thinking cap on to come up with ideas for attracting more entries in 2026 - any suggstions welcome.

Thanks to everyone who entered and/or came along to visit the Show. And, as mentioned on the home page, the Committee's thanks go out to all of the non-committee members who helped out on the day and/or helped in setting up the Show. This help is essential to ensure the smooth running of the Show. The Committee also thanks those who donated items for the refreshments and produce stalls and also items for the final sale. And last but not least, thanks to all of the organisations that sponsored the Show by advertising in the 2025 schedule and/or by donating prizes for the raffle. A list of those organisations can be found here

May 2025  The Show Committee shared the plant stall with the Church at the St Mary's Church Festival. The weather was kind and we sold lots of plants. Thanks to everyone who generously donated and to all those who came along to purchase. It was a very successful event.
