We hope you can join us at the Annual Show. There are so many reasons to visit:

View the wonderful exhibits and talent on show from people within our community. From fruit and vegetables, beautiful flower arranging, paintings, lace making and other crafts, to preserves, baking and photography, not forgetting the classes for our talented young people. It’s a great opportunity to be inspired and get involved.

You’ll be able to view the exhibits from 2 – 3.45pm. Don’t miss out on the delicious refreshment’s including tea, cakes and scones also available from 2pm.

At 4pm, there will be prizes given to the winning exhibits, amazing raffle prizes and don’t forget the very entertaining auction of exhibits and produce at the end of the afternoon. A great opportunity to get involved and bag a bargain!

The money raised on the day is used to keep the show going and any surplus goes back to local good causes. This year because of your support we were able to support WABIK for their hard work helping families and Bozeat Church Hall towards their much-needed curtains.

Fun for all the family.
