This was the second Spring Show since the pandemic had forced cancellations in 2020 and 2021 so the show calendar is now well and truly back to normal.

The Spring Show has categories ranging from horticulture including flower arranging to cookery as well as children’s entries. It is one of several shows run by the association each year.
