Welcome to the delayed 111th Chipstead Village Flower Show and Fair, which was due way back in July 2020. Sounds like a Southern Rail announcement!
Whilst planning this year’s show in January, we were conscious of the arrival of the Omicron version of Covid, and the uncertainties this would bring. We therefore decided to make sure there is plenty of room for our visitors and participants to move about freely, so that everyone can feel confident and safe.
Consequently, we will put on a slightly reduced show in 2022, whilst retaining many of the class entries, entertainment, stalls and facilities, such as the Bar, B-B-Q and tea tent that have been enjoyed for many years, together with some new entertainment.
This schedule contains all the information on how to enter your items in the classes, and any other information that you may require. However, if you can enter classes on line this would be very helpful. This year there is no charge for entries.
This schedule will be published by Easter, hopefully to allow the planting, modelling, planning of your home produce and production of your entries. We hope they will all be as exciting as usual!
It would be great if you can spare an hour or two on Friday 15th to help us set up, and also on the Saturday to help us with the gate, tea tent, bar, main marquee and elsewhere. Please email me at chairman@chipsteadflowershow.co.uk so that I can allocate you to a friendly task. The show is run solely by volunteers.
Next year’s show is already being planned for 15th July 2023.
Have a great show day with us!
Peter Quiney
