The Potton Show

The Potton Show was started in 1973 and has continued every September since then, until Covid hit us! Sadly our 47th show couldn’t happen in 2020 but the Committee are very hopeful to be able to once again stage the very popular traditional Flower & Vegetable Show at St Marys church hall & field on Saturday September 11th. Yellow “Show Schedules”, giving details of classes and entry forms, will be available from Potton Post Office, Tysoes Hardware and Potton Library, as well as from the website (www.pottonshow.org.uk) There are many classes for adults and children, and we are hoping that everyone will enter into the community spirit and join in with their Fruits, Flowers, Vegetables, Photographs, Paintings, Models, Baking, Wines, Beers. Liqueurs, Handicrafts and Hobby exhibits - after almost 18 months of lockdown we are sure that people will have found new skills and are feeling competitive and ready to show the world (or at least the good folk of Potton!). Once judging has taken place, St Mary’s Field and the marquee will be open at 2pm to view the exhibits and prizewinners. During the afternoon there will be a Fun Dog Show, Morris Dancers, refreshments, barbecue, beer tent any many other stalls and activities. Cups and trophies are presented at 4pm and the show closes with an auction of donated products; always a fun and wellsupported part of the day! On Sunday 12th September the marquee will play host to the ever-popular craft fair, from 12 - 5pm where there will be many stalls offering the chance to buy quality crafts and gifts - maybe the chance to start the Christmas shopping! We look forward to meeting up with friends old and new.
