The show will held in the sports hall and is open to the public between 11am and 3pm. Admission is £1, with children going free.

John said: "The show promises to be excellent, with first class exhibits. It will be a show not to miss and well worth a visit. There will be fine show of vegetables and seasonal flowers along with a variety of pot plants. Exhibits of baking, flower arranging and photography will also be on show. I hope we will get a good turnout of visitors to share this horticultural spectacle”
