Plant Sale, St Mary's Flower Festival.
We will again be sharing a plant stall at the St Mary’s Flower Festival so please come along and look for some bargains. It’s not too late to be planting and hopefully the frost tender plants can soon be put outdoors. If you have any left-over seedlings or plants that you would like to donate to the sale, please contact us or bring them along on the day. All contributions are welcome. Committee members will be manning the stall on Saturday 16th May and can answer any questions you may have about the Show. We will also have hard copy schedules available if you don’t already have one by then.
Show History
A copy of the 1956 Show Schedule has recently been kindly donated to us by Janet Keyes whose late father, E. R. Levitt, competed in the 2 mile Gent’s Handicap Walk (Open) - Final, finishing in 2nd place. A copy of that schedule can be downloaded by clicking here. More information about the history of the Show can be found on the history page and we'll be adding more images of old documents from our archive in the future.
