120 TH YEAR OF THE CLAYGATE FLOWER & VILLAGE SHOW

As bleak, winter days on the Claygate Recreation Ground transform into brighter, warmer days, The organisers are all very excited about the Claygate Flower & Village Show this year. Not only is it the 120th year of the show but they are also celebrating the Coronation. There will be plenty of things around the grounds to reflect this including items within their Grand Exhibition Marquee.

The draw of this Claygate event is huge, not only for the Claygate community but for neighbouring villages and beyond. But, not surprisingly, to fully participate it calls for some forward planning.

It’s pondering, then designing and creating something you can exhibit on the Saturday in the Grand Exhibition Marquee.

There are hundreds of classes to choose from for both adults and children. There will be something that appeals to all. Cakes, sausages rolls and quiches can be baked the night before but a collage, a painting, an item of pottery or crochet can take you a bit longer. If you’ve sown some seeds, nurturing these until they are vegetables or flowers will keep you busy right up to show day. So put the dates in your diary and start planning now.

The Claygate Flower & Village Show Saturday 8th July 1.30pm
