Chipstead Flower Show 2024

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Hello everyone and welcome to the 113th Chipstead Village Flower Show and Fair in modern times.

With the exception of World War II and the Covid interruption, the ‘Fair in Chipstead’ has been going since 1549. We are very fortunate to be able to continue our much-loved village tradition by holding this event at the heart of Chipstead at Elmore, once more courtesy of John and Carol Wates.

While many of you will remember that we experienced 4 seasons in one day last year it did not put off the many visitors which came and enjoyed all that was on offer. The ‘Elmore 7’ (mile) running race had a huge turnout with many athletes refuelling at the BBQ tent, until all produce was gone! There were excellent class entries, entertainment for all the family and a fully stocked bar. We are hoping for some more  consistent, sunny weather this year (and an ice cream van which stays for the whole day)!

The schedule for all the class entries will be published herein and contains all the information required including details on how to enter. Last year we had a record number of entries and early online entries are  encouraged. There are no charges for entries so hopefully this will allow for plenty of planning, planting and modelling of home produce to make for some exciting competition and results. This year there have been some changes to the Chipstead Flower Show committee. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing Chairman, Peter Quiney who has done a tremendous job of organising this event over the last few years. We are still very lucky to have the support of the Vice Chair, Rosemary Selfe who works tirelessly behind the scenes to pull this event together with the help of a very enthusiastic and willing committee.

As you may be aware, aside from the committee, the Flower Show is run by a number of volunteers for which we are very grateful. We are always on the look out for more so if you have any time to spare, would like to help or get involved please email: chairman@chipsteadflowershow.co.uk.

We are looking forward to another great show and hope to see as many of you there as possible.
Please note that in 2025 the show will be held on the 19th of July.

Chairman
