Welcome to The Sandy Garden & Craft Show!
Previously known as Sandy Floral & Horticultural Society and in more recent times as the Sandy & District Horticultural Association, has been organising The Sandy Show for around 156 years and, for 2024, we updated our fresher style with a greater focus on crafting hobbies, as well as the more traditional categories of flowers, vegetables & culinary arts. We hope you liked the changes that were made and continued with the 2024 Show. Following the success of the 2024 Show, with a 12% increase in the number of entries and the additional space afforded by the use of the Conservative Bowls Club Pavilion, it was agreed to run the Sandy Garden and Craft Show again in 2025.
This year's Show will be held on Saturday 30th August, so time to get growing , sewing, brewing, drawing, making, baking and painting your prize winning entries! (Perhaps the baking should wait a month or two to ensure freshness!). Good Luck and we hope to see you there on Show day.
The 2024 Sandy Garden & Craft Show included the following Classes:
Championship Class - Dahlias
Top Tray - Vegetables
