Shows

The Association holds two shows each year open to anyone who wishes to enter. Our aim is to encourage as many growers as possible to take part and for visitors to be inspired to grow their own produce.

Our annual Summer Show in August focuses on Fruit, Flowers, and Vegetables. The Pumpkin and Produce Show in October is all about Pumpkins, home made preserves, home baking, photography, and home made crafts.

For details of future shows please visit our ‘Events page’.
