The Dilton Marsh Flower & Handicraft Show committee are pleased to announce next years show date and classes.
Save the date Saturday 27th July 2024
It coincides with the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics and you will see that we have included a few references to this in the classes.
We
are delighted to be offering more ‘open’ categories for people to share what is growing well in the garden and items that they have made. Hopefully the slightly later date and these open classes will enable our gardeners to cope with whatever weather we get next year!
We hope that by advertising the classes now you can use the winter months to create and plan ahead.
Here are the 2024 classes
