COMMUNITY groups across Yorkshire have been invited to show off a 'secret shed' at this year's Harrogate Spring Flower Show.

The event, which this year runs from April 26 to 29, will include a series of 'secret sheds', each of which will contain a different display or message, which will remain secret until visitors open the door.

Nick Smith, show director, said the competition - which includes prizes of between £100 and £300 - will be "a great way to get across a message or a theme" in a two square metre plot.

He said: "A full-sized show garden can be a big undertaking, so we are introducing the new concept of secret sheds as an exciting way to surprise and engage our visitors. Behind the door of each shed will be a unique display and story, which should be great fun for everyone."
