Flower Show
A major event in the Ilketshall St Margaret calendar usually held on the third Saturday in the month of July, the village hall houses over 200 exhibits of locally grown vegetables, fruit and flowers exhibited under the expert eye of specialist judges. Handicrafts, cooking and photography are also included in the competitions. There are cups and trophies to be won for all classes, which are keenly contested. The most recent and popular addition is the Potato in a Bucket, the aim of which is to encourage people to grow something – the weigh-in is always a guaranteed crowd attraction!
Whilst the produce forms the focal point of the Show, the Fete provides a first-class afternoon out for all the family with a number of side-shows to attract children and adults of all ages.
The Show aims to encourage as many of the community as possible to participate, and compete, in Growing, Baking and Making! Most importantly, the Show exists so that everyone can have a fun, family day out and at the same time, raising funds for the Village Hall. Long may it continue!
