Austwick Village Show 2024 Results

Austwick Village Show 2024

Austwick Village Horticultural and Local Produce Show was again held this year on the first Saturday in August in Austwick Parish Hall. The usual high-quality kitchen-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 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 prize first introduced in 2022 for the best first-time adult. Entries in the vegetable and soft fruit and the flower sections were affected to some extent this year due to prolonged poor weather conditions but the quality in these sections and the overall quality of the exhibits remained high. The children’s entries were particularly strong this year and their exhibits were displayed for the first time in the main hall alongside the handicrafts which added to the enjoyment of the visitors.

The image above shows the cup winners this year in the adult and children’s sections.
