    Types of events we run

Shows

We run two main shows every year: the Spring Flower Show in April and Autumn Show in September.
You can find the schedules and documentation for these shows on the Resources page. All welcome, even if you’ve never entered a show before.

Trips & outings

We put on outings every year to various gardens, from local gems to the bigger RHS and other commercial gardens. For some trips we hire a coach, and for others co-ordinate lifts in members cars. Most trips are accompanied by tours, tea & cake, to make for a full day!

Socials

A highlight of the year’s calendar is our evening social, featuring, food, quizzes, and a theme with optional fancy dress. As well as this, we have additional meet-ups throughout the year, sometimes run in conjunction with the Allotment Group.
