The 2026 Annual Show

​​​

The 2026 Annual Show is open to all plot holders and garden members and will be held on Saturday, 5 September 2026. A barbeque and salad lunch will be served outside the John Gray Centre just before the Show opens, to which everyone is welcome whether or not they are taking part.

​​

Compared to previous shows, the schedule has been simplified. There are now five entry sections, including a fun! section, and two Cups will be awarded - the President's Cup for the best exhibitor and the Wyevale Cup for the best exhibit in the Show, in the judges' assessment. As in prior years (follow the links for pictures of 2017's exhibits), there will be sections for vegetables, fruit, flowers and herbs and home produce.

​​

The Show Secretary is Val Morrison (on Plot 38A).
