Are your leeks looking good and your scones smelling scrumptious? Because it's not long to go until this year's Annual 2022 Village Show, which will be held on Saturday 3rd September at the Memorial Hall.

It was great to see many familiar faces as well as lots of new ones for last year's show after covid restrictions were lifted, so we are looking forward to welcoming you all again to make our 79th show as successful as ever.

The show will feature the usual sections for home grown vegetables and flowers plus items of craftwork as well as some newer options, such as Sloe Gin in our Homebrew section. 

The popular baking section has a variety of categories from savoury to sweet including sausage rolls and home baked bread to cakes and Banana Bread. 

There are also sections for children such as designed miniature garden, decorated stones and cupcakes.

It's a great opportunity for everyone to get involved, whether you want to showcase your skills and enter or simply just want to take a look at the fabulous pieces the many talented gardeners, bakers, crafters and photographers in the community have created.

Food and refreshments will be available in the evening along with a raffle and the auctioning off of all the produce.

The Show Guide will be available and distributed to homes around the village throughout August and contains information on all the categories, including entry forms, as well as details for the day itself.
