2020 will see the 72nd Wickham Market Annual Show in the Village Hall over the weekend of 1st and 2nd August.

Our theme for the show will be ‘Trees’.

We have chosen this to celebrate the beauty of trees and their importance in our daily lives.

Many of you will know that our chosen theme is reflected in some specific classes in our various categories.

However participants can also choose to reflect the theme in any entries to the classes such as foliage, drawings, paintings, patchwork/quilts and handicrafts.

There will be our usual produce, flower, handicraft and children’s classes too.

We wanted to give you plenty of time to prepare and also to go out with your cameras and sketch books over the next 6 months!

The specific Tree themed related classes are as follows:

Floral Art:

An exhibit using a log

A petite exhibit with a woodland theme

Confectionery:

Showstopper cake in the form of a decorated tree stump.
