Busy first day for 39th Burnham-On-Sea Horticultural Show

-

Gardeners, growers, handicraft hobbyists, cooks and amateur photographers have been showing off their work this weekend at Burnham-On-Sea & District Horticultural Society’s 39th annual show.

The event is being held at Sanders Garden World and started on Saturday August 12th and continues on Sunday August 13th.

There are 10 sections and 129 classes to be entered with 24 cups, five shields, two medals, one trophy, one tankard and one rose bowl to be won.

The sections in which competitors have entered include floral art, junior, domestic, handicraft, amateur photography, pot plants, flowers, wines, fruit and vegetables.

Visitors to the show will also be able to see entries of hand knitted soft toys, cushion covers, painting, photographs and homemade wine.

Entrants in the Burnham Allotment Society sponsored classes will be showing off what they hope will be the heaviest home-grown onions and potatoes in the area, and the longest runner beans.

The show is open on Saturday from 1pm until 6pm and on Sunday from 10am until 4pm. The prize-giving and awards presentation ceremony will be held at 3pm on the Sunday. Admission to the event is free.
