The Society’s Annual Show
Aug 26 @ 12:30 pm – 4:30 pm

Our annual Flower Show will be held at St John’s Church in Epping on Saturday 26th August 2023. Put the date in your diary, and watch for further information here in due course.

Please note the timetable for the day:

08:00 – open for exhibitors to stage their entries

10:30 – closed for judging

12:30 – open to the public

As always the success of the show depends so much on the support of the members in growing and making produce for the event and then in helping set the day up at St John’s and clearing down afterwards. We need help across the event this year from the kitchen, to food prep for the tea room and from stewarding the judges to helping with the door and the EHS stalls.

Please let David or one of the committee members know if you are able to give your time during this event; contact details are here.

Full details of the Show, classes and entry details are here.
