Reydon Show 2025 Report

The Reydon Show 2025 was brilliantly attended this year, with large numbers coming to see all the amazing entries.

Sadly, the weather always keeps us guessing in this country, and it seems to have taken its toll on the cabbages, carrots, some of the other vegetable classes and the cut flowers. In fact, if you had entered any carrots, cauliflowers, marrows, cabbages, cucumbers, carnations, sweet peas, gladioli, asters, pot plant or pinks this year, you would have been a shoo-in for a prize – remember that for Reydon Show 2026! We did have some hilarious beans in the novelty vegetables though!

It was lovely to see all the baked goods, photography, and handicrafts – but always happy to have more next year. Plus, for 2026 we need to rally Reydon’s artists as we were strangely short on paintings – quality we had 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, plus miniature gardens! So, any parents or grandparents out there, encourage your children to enter free next year – especially as we now have the Jack and Ann Robins Cup for most outstanding children’s exhibit.

When you are planning you 2026 planting or embarking on some arts and crafts, remember the first Saturday in August will be the Reydon Show next year.
