Celebrating Community, Cultivating Beauty
Chipstead Village Flower Show & Fair
A message from the Chairman
Hello and welcome to the 2025, 114th Chipstead Village Flower Show & Fair.
We are once again incredibly fortunate to be holding this year’s event at Elmore, in the heart of Chipstead Village. This is only possible by the continued support of John and Carol Wates, who have generously allowed us to use their beautiful garden for the enjoyment of our community, over many years.
The highlight of the day will of course be the main marquee, showcasing hundreds of wonderful and original entries. The entries are at the heart of our Show and we encourage you all to enter an exhibit or two. They are a terrific way to be part of the Show, so make
sure you start growing, baking, painting and creating soon!
I would like to thank Steve Vincent and the South London Harriers for once again running the ever-popular Elmore 7 Run and we hope the race will remain a key fixture in the Summer running calendar for all the family to enjoy.
I wish to thank the Committee, all of whom continue to work tirelessly to organise this event, alongside the dedicated volunteers to whom we are very grateful. We are always on the lookout for more should you wish to get involved!
I hope you will join us on Saturday 12 July to experience our wonderful Chipstead hospitality, as well as some exciting new attractions.
I look forward to seeing you all!
Rowland Cheall

A Village in Bloom, A Day of Delight
Chipstead Flower Show is run by volunteers from around Chipstead and beyond, for the people of Chipstead and beyond, and is now approaching the 114th year. We would love to hear from anybody who can assist, either on the day, or the days leading up to the show. We need help in the main flower show marquee, in the tea tent, BBQ or helping to set up the showground the week before. New committee members are also welcome.

Quintessentially British event. We brought along Canadian friends this year who felt as if they were in a British film scene. Wonderful day, great location and great mix of stalls.
{Lovely village event. Good old-fashioned fun with plenty to do and a lovely community feel.
{Lovely afternoon, my little one was transfixed by all the attractions and you achieved the impossible – a perfect cup of tea in a very busy tea tent!
{One of my favourite days out in the year. So quintessentially English; to sit on a lawn in the afternoon looking at the beautiful rolling English countryside, eating cake washed down with a glass of pimms whilst listening to a jazz band.
