Over 500 entries went on display at West Huntspill Horticultural Society’s Flower, Vegetable and Craft Show on Saturday (August 19th).
Crowds flocked to Saturday’s show in the Balliol Hall where a wide vareity of exhibits went on display across dozens of classes.
“We would like to thank all those who put entries in to make it another superb event,” show secretary Carrie Cavill told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“The number of entries was up on last year and the standard was high considering the weather. It was really great to have several new entrants this year.”
The entries varied from flowers and floral art to vegetables, cookery entries and children’s classes. Outside the Balliol Hall, stallholders included the WI, the local church, Scouts, craft makers, plus a performance by Burnham and Highbridge Town Band.
Carrie added: “West Huntspill Horticultural Society would like to thank everyone who helped, entered or visited the show.”
