The 79th Piddington Village Show is nearly upon us!

We're going to be spending the day kneading, whisking, picking, and trimming, and we hope you are too.

The hall opens for entries at 8am on Saturday, and all entries must be staged by 10am at the latest.

🎂🥧 Cakes, tarts, and scones should be presented on a plate (paper plates are fine) and covered with clingfilm.

🍞🥖 Bread should be on a board, basket or plate.

🥕🧅 Vegetables should be neatly presented in accordance with the RHS guidelines, unless otherwise stated.

You're welcome to take your entries home, or leave them to be entered into the auction. Presentation plates will be returned to you before the auction.

RHS Horticultural Advisor Anne Adam shares the fun of entering your produce into local shows, and how to get started if you’ve never done it before

We're really looking forward to seeing you all at the Village Show this weekend.

Everyone is welcome at the show! Come for the produce, flowers and craft, or just for tea, cake and a natter.

And you don't need to be an expert to enter. It's about coming together as a community, not just winning.

If you've got any questions about how to enter, or how to present your entries, do ask! We'd love to hear from you.
