How to use Showday

Growing & presentation tips

From fruit, vegetables and homegrown produce to plants, fragrant blooms, cooking, crafts and art: whether it’s grown or made, there’s a spot for it in one of the 20 sections in the Pavilion. Entries are welcome from all ages and abilities, from pre-schoolers up.

Taking part is free, and the Ionie Atkins Memorial prize goes to the most accomplished exhibitor who succeeds across at least two Pavilion sections.

Important: before you enter, check you have the right class name and number. Changes have been made from previous years.

Photography: sticker on the front, your name on the back.
Soft articles: pin the sticker to the front, bottom left.

Judges look for nicely presented work that’s clean, within the size limits and follows the rules for that class. Hints for exhibiting are at the top of each section’s schedule, and there are more tips for fruit and vegetables on our growing & presentation tips page.
