Reydon Show 2024: trophy winners!

The Reydon Show 2024 was brilliantly attended this year with lots more people entering across the categories and large numbers coming to see all the lovely entries. The weather always keeps us guessing in this country, but it seems to have helped this year to create some amazing blooms in the flower classes – but seems to have taken its toll on the carrots and some of the other vegetable classes (though we did have a three-legged ‘Isle of Man’ carrot in the novelty vegetables).

It was lovely to see all the baked goods, photography, and handicrafts – but always happy to have more next year. Plus, for 2025, we need to rally Reydon’s artists as we were strangely short on paintings – quality, but love to see more quantity!

The kids’ creativity was amazing, and we would encourage even more children to enter the free kids’ categories next year – they can enter any arts and craft including 3D models and Lego! So, any parents or grandparents out there, encourage your children to enter free next year.

When you are planning your 2025 planting or embarking on some arts and crafts, remember the first Saturday in August will be the Reydon Show next year.
