Photos from the show - fun for all the family.
Every July, we hold a Summer Show at the Uplyme Village Hall and Playing Field. (For 2008 it's the 79th Show, and was held on Saturday, 19th July between 2.00 to 5.00 pm.) Entrance is by donation, and car parking is free.
In the marquee, exhibitors compete for cups and small cash prizes, for fruit, flowers and vegetables, floral exhibits, home produce, photography, and handicrafts.
On the field, you'll find a wide range of horticultural and charity stalls, games and competitions, entertainment by the Arcadia Jazz Band - and of course, the raffle. In the hall, the Royal British Legion, Uplyme Women’s Branch oor the Uplyme WI serve teas, coffees and refreshments.

Paint a big colourful picture and try for cash prizes. This year, we are only allowing 20 minutes per go, to allow more children to have a turn; in past years, some budding Old Masters hogged an easel for almost the whole time, and we had to turn people away! |
