“It’s a popular show and is an important event in the village calendar. We have classes for everything from fruit and veg through flowers, cookery and preserves to handicrafts and children’s classes. We’re looking forward to receiving lots of entries.”

For those interested in entering, the fees are quite reasonable: adults can enter classes for just 50p each, while children's classes cost only 10p. Entries must be submitted at the Concert Hall between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the day of the show. Once the entries are in, the public is invited to view the exhibits starting at 2 p.m. Admission for adults is £1.50, and children can enter for free, making it an affordable day out for families.
