The Hurst Horticultural Show offers the perfect way to spend an English summer's day, whether exhibiting in any of the 134 classes or just admiring the entries and enjoying the friendly atmosphere of a favourite village tradition.The 108th show will be held on Saturday 21 August 2021. One of the organisers, Frank Whittaker, proudly tells us a little about the history of the event and how it has evolved over the years. He also shares a few practical gardening tips. - What possible connection could wrestling have with the Hurst Horticultural Show? - What weird and wonderful classes of exhibits were included in the early days? - Why did one Scarecrow entry attract the attention of the police a few years ago? - How to feed tomatoes, keep sweet peas flowering or deal with potato blight?You'll have to listen to find out! These days, the show classes are divided into four categories: Scarecrows, Horticulture, Home Industries and classes for Children. So there really is something for everyone at the Hurst Horticultural Show, held at Hurst Village Halls. The orchard in between hosts the cream teas, bar, hot food, ice creams, EMC jazz band, local craft stalls, and the famous Hurst alpacas.

'Dressed' is plucked clean but left intact for display. 'Drawn' is with the head, feet and visceral organs also removed (ready for cooking!)
