With the show open to anyone and with over 90 different classes in garden, produce, cookery, photography and handicrafts, there was something for everyone!

Following a damp start to the day, things soon brightened up and by 2pm, once the judging had finished, the sun was shining down to welcome the public to the event.

A wide range of vegetables, flowers and other exhibits filled the hall. The cookery section was particularly well supported with a record 25 entries for the orange drizzle cake class.
