A WEEKEND OF COMMUNITY FUN!
Ralph Parsons – Potton Show Chairman
This year’s Potton Flower and Vegetable Show is taking place on Saturday 12th September, at St Mary’s Hall and Field, Hatley Road, Potton SG19 2RP – what3words ///cargo.archduke.exhales.

For more than fifty years, the Potton Flower and Vegetable Show has been a highlight of our town’s calendar — a weekend that our grandparents would recognise instantly, yet one that continues to evolve with the community it serves. This year’s show promises all the charm of a traditional village fair, combined with the energy and creativity that make Potton such a special place to live.

We warmly invite everyone, old and young, to take part. Whether you grow, bake, sew, craft, paint, photograph or simply enjoy having a go, there is a class for you. From prize dahlias to homemade jam, children’s creations to impressive veg, the show celebrates skill, imagination and the joy of taking part. Entry details are on our website.

The fun doesn’t stop there. Saturday evening brings our ever popular Barn Dance — a lively, good natured, foot stomping night out in the marquee. Ticket details are on the website.

Then on Sunday, the field transforms yet again for the Craft Fair, it attracts up to 40 stallholders selling crafts ranging from wood turning, glass engraving, jewellery, ceramics, art, metal work, and much more. If you would like to display and sell your wares contact Jane on 01767 260293 / 07711584078. We supply tables and chairs you just bring your crafts.

If on the other hand you just want an enjoyable afternoon, please come and check this event out. Enjoy some retail therapy followed by a sit down with a cup of tea and homemade cakes.

The show is proudly inclusive and entirely community run, brought to life by a dedicated team of volunteers. Alongside our friends at Party on Potton and Potton Apple Day, we’re delighted to welcome the town as it joins us again for this years’ Autumn celebrations.

If you can spare a little time to help over the weekend — or even consider joining the committee — please contact us.

We look forward to seeing you at the marquee.

Limited parking – please use Brook End car park or Potton Scout HQ if you are arriving by car.

After a nation-wide bumper crop last autumn, we’re not expecting as many apples to juice this year. Our own orchard is still young and Potton Apple Day depends on the support of the Apple Amnesty.

So, if you have surplus apples, please do donate them to the community press so we can keep children busy chopping and juicing the fruit. If you’re unsure what variety you have, bring 5 or 6 of the best along to the identification table.

CAMRA will be on hand to refresh the parts that need refreshing and local band Drunk and Disorderly will keep your toes tapping. If you’ve not been before, you’ve been missing a treat.

Apple Day takes place from 12pm to 4pm on Sunday 27th September in St Mary’s Church field and hall.  It’s a family friendly, free, fun afternoon with live music, cider and good food.

This year’s Remembrance Service and Parade will be held on Sunday 8th November.  The service starts at 10.10am in the Market Square (what3words ///chromatic.custodial.grumbles) followed by the parade to the War Memorial (what3words ///tortoises.showdown.keener), leaving promptly at 10.30am.  Laying of wreaths at the War Memorial at Potton Cemetery in Sandy Road following the two-minutes silence at 11am.

All welcome.
