Tarvin Horticultural Show

Saturday, 17th August 2024 – doors open 2pm

This year's Tarvin Horticultural Show is now only three weeks away. Villagers are reminded that the Horticultural Show entry forms have to reach Ian Levitt (the Show Secretary) by 5pm Friday, August 16th.

You can submit them either:

• Electronically to tgs.show.2024@btinternet.com or
• Through the letterbox of No 2, Field Close, Tarvin, CH3 8DL.

Do have a look around your garden. You may be surprised at how really good examples of flowers, fruit or vegetables you have – and all entries will be COMPLETELY FREE! Remember the judges will be looking for the best exhibit on the table in front of them, not for examples of horticultural perfection!

Why not encourage the youngsters to have a go at their classes? Unlike the adults, they get cash prizes – 1st place gets a fiver, 2nd gets £2, and even a 3rd place picks up a £1! Not bad for a competition that costs nothing to enter.

Staging the exhibits for the show at Tarvin Community Centre must be done between 8.30am and 11am on Saturday, 17th August. There will be stewards to help you set up your exhibits. After 11am, the judges get to work and, by 2pm (when the doors open to the public), all of the prizes will have been awarded. The trophies (all 10 of them!) will be presented at 3.30pm by Councillor Duncan Howorth, Vice-Chair of Tarvin Parish Council.

As always refreshments will be available.

Interested but don't have a schedule or entry form?

Copies of the schedule and entry forms are available for download as a PDF file here, but can also be obtained by emailing – tgs.show.2024@btinternet.com

Paper copies are also available at the Tarvin Post Office or from Ian Levitt at 2, Field Close, Tarvin, CH3 8DL.
