Not long to Show Day!

IPPLEPEN VILLAGE GARDEN SHOW 18TH JULY 2026

The Show is nearly here and the preparations are really hotting up, hopefully so is the
weather! By now, everyone should have received their programmes, have planned their day at the Show and are busy preparing their entries.

The Draw tickets will be on sale from 1st July. The best place to buy them is at the Show, find us in the dark red gazebo, next to the main Show marquee. Don’t miss out on the chance to win the top prize of £100. If you’re not coming to the Show, please get in touch.

At the time of writing, there are other lovely prizes, donated by Lisa’s Cafe, The Tally Ho, The Welly, The Co-op, Dainton Park Golf Club, Dart’s Farm Butchers, Southern Timber, Sandford Orchard Winery, Austin’s, China Blue, Ipplepen Garage and Mane Haven hairdressers and beauty. I always want more prizes, so if you have anything spare or would like to donate anything suitable for a hamper, please get in touch.

Please ensure you get your entries in for the Garden Show by 9pm on Friday 10th July. This can be done online at www.ipplepenvillageshow.co.uk or by hand to Liz Hooker at 4 Tremlett Grove. Please help Liz out by submitting entries as early as possible. 
Please make sure you check the rules and eligibility of your entries before submitting.

As you know, cups must be returned before the Show to Liz Hooker, Show Secretary at the above address. Please ensure this is done by Friday 10th also but earlier is better. Thank you in anticipation.

The Show opens at 1pm. The Maypole procession will depart the War Memorial at 1.45pm and the first dance will be at 2pm. Please be aware that the road will be closed for a short while at this time. There is a lot to enjoy including the Craft Tent, the Carnival Club’s Kid’s Zone and a whole lot of fantastic stalls. Please remember to bring cash as not everyone can take card payments.

If you have any questions, please make contact by email or phone, details below. I am looking forward to seeing you all and to another fantastic event. Fingers crossed for a great day!
