Over 650 entries went on display at the annual West Huntspill Horticultural Show on Saturday (August 20th).
Crowds flocked to Saturday’s show in the Balliol Hall where a huge number of exhibits went on display across 130 classes.
“We would like to thank all those who put entries in to make it another superb show,” show secretary Jane Moreton told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“The floral art doubled in numbers while the vegetable classes were down due to lack of rain in recent weeks. The flowers, cookery entries and children’s classes were excellent.”
She added: “We also thank those who came and bought raffle tickets, those who donated prizes, plus those who ran our stalls on the day.”
Outside the Balliol Hall stallholders included Burnham Beekeepers, the WI, the local church, craft makers, plus a performance by the Burnham and Highbridge Band.
