Autumn Show
Saturday 5th September 2026
Whether you are a longstanding member, or someone new to gardening (not to mention flower arranging, cooking and photography), it's time to start thinking about what you might want to enter into our second show of the year. Don’t assume your entry wouldn’t be good enough, or couldn’t win a prize, you might be pleasantly surprised. And whether or not you are going to enter anything, put the date in your diary and come along to have a look.
The programme for the rest of the year is being finalised and will be available here in due course.
