Do you have a favourite pot plant?

Perhaps you've been nurturing a beautiful begonia, a colourful geranium, a striking foliage plant or even a cactus on your windowsill?

Why not enter it into our Summer Flower Show on Saturday 8th August 2026?

Our Pot Plants section has classes for a wide variety of plants, including begonias, geraniums, pelargoniums, ferns, lilies, succulents, hanging baskets, patio tubs and many more.

You don't need to be an expert grower or have a greenhouse full of prize-winning plants. If you've cared for a healthy, attractive plant that you're proud of, we'd love to see it on the show bench.

So why not give it a go?

Choose your best plant.
Give it a little tidy up.
Bring it along and enter the show!

First-time exhibitors are always welcome, and you never know—you might come away with a prize!

Do you pick berries from your garden?

Have you ever turned them into jam or jelly? It’s much easier than you might think – and a wonderful way to make the most of your summer harvest!

At our Summer Flower Show on Saturday 8th August 2026, we have a whole section dedicated to homemade Jams, Jellies & Preserves. Whether it’s strawberry jam, raspberry jam, gooseberry jelly, blackcurrant jelly, marmalade, chutney or your own special recipe, there’s a class for you to try.

You don’t need to be an expert preserve-maker – first-time exhibitors are very welcome, and homemade entries are always a highlight of the show.
