Far Forest Countryside Show 2017 Horticultural Show
Dear Exhibitors, Enclosed you will find the schedule for the Horticultural Show at the 2017 Far Forest Countryside Show. Following the successful theming of the show in 2016 we are this year using Lewis Carrolls “Alice In Wonderland” and the “Mad Hatters Tea Party” for a special item in each category and for the Home and Garden Theatre theme. We have some new classes in the schedule along with some old favourites. We also have an exciting programme for the Home and Garden Theatre, sponsored by Wyre Hire at Bill White Nurseries, in the Horticulture Marquee. The show is a great opportunity to show off your gardening and homecraft skills and pick up gardening, local craft and cookery tips on both days. We are retaining our policy of Free Entry of Exhibits so there’s no excuse for not entering. You can also enter online www.WyreHire.co.uk/FarForestShow and we have a new trophy to award for the maximum points gained by a 13 to 18 year old. We look forward to seeing you at the show and wish you luck with your entries.
