Austwick Show Results

Austwick Village Show 2022

After a break of two years, Austwick Village Show was able to resume again this August in the Parish Hall. The usual high-quality garden produce, flowers, cookery, handicrafts and artwork entered for the show by both seasoned exhibitors and a sizeable number of new exhibitors, managed to achieve an amazing combination of colour, skill and artistry with the standard of exhibits on display as excellent as ever. Consequently, the high number of visitors this year had much to admire whilst also enjoying the home-made cakes and refreshments on offer during the show. Due to the fine weather this year, the prize giving was able to take place outside in the Parish Hall garden where the prize winners were presented with their trophies and cups including a new prize this year for the best first-time adult.
