The Westbury on Trym Flower Show

(Saturday 10th September, 2011)

Westbury on Trym Village Hall

Celebrate the start of Autumn with a day out at the Westbury on Trym Flower Show.  With over 90 competition classes covering fruit, vegetable and flower growing, arts, crafts, flower arranging, photography, cookery, brewing and wine making, there is sure to be something to interest the whole family.
The 2011 classes are now on the show's web site
www.westburyontrymflowershow.co.uk, so that the green-fingered amongst you can get planting!
Anyone who would like to compete can do so by downloading an entry form from the web site or by picking up one of the printed schedules that will be appearing in the library and various shops around WoT from July.
This year's flower show will be adopting the theme of "Upcycling" - so let your imaginations run wild when designing your entries!

Have you got any time to spare?

We are always looking for volunteers to help us on the committee; set up the hall on the Friday evening before the show or to help out at the Flower Show itself.  If you have a few hours to spare this year, then please get in touch by emailing westbury@westburyontrymflowershow.co.uk

It is a great way to get involved in your local community and the Show is always lots of fun!
