The 2026 Autumn Flower Show is being held on Saturday 5 September so we would encourage you to enter your flowers, fruit, vegetables and homecraft across the 56 different classes with an additional 13 Junior Classes.

The very hot, dry weather coupled with the hosepipe and water restrictions has really made it difficult for our gardens this year and the Committee understands that this will be a challenging show. However, we feel our flower shows are so well appreciated and are part of the Bidborough community, that we want the show to go ahead.

We understand some classes will be difficult to enter (does anybody have any Hydrangers flowering at all !!) but remember Class 28 – Any other exhibit not covered by any other class, which is a useful class to enter and also remember that the Flower Arrangement Classes don’t need to be made from flowers from your own garden and can be bought.

There is an entry form in the Show Schedule, but you can also download a copy, see below – just click on the download icon or select filesave or print options depending on your device.

Even if you don’t enter, please come along in the afternoon from 2.30 pm and see the display and relax and chat over a cup of tea or coffee and a delicious piece of cake.

After the event the results and pictures of the show will be displayed on the Flower Shows Post.
