The Emsworth Horticultural Show 2008
25th August 2008
at Horndean Road Recreation Ground
Nowadays, with increasing rules and regulations, it is becoming more and more difficult to stage shows like ours. However, the goodwill and determination of a large number of volunteers is such that we are determined to give Emsworth a Show up to the usual standards.
In the large Show Marquee there are many opportunities to win trophies and cash prizes for all manner of entries. As well as horticultural classes, there are classes for cookery, flower arranging, craft and photography. We also have classes for novices and for children to enter. Schedules are now available at the EHS hut at the Washington Road allotment site, libraries, the Hayling Island and Chichester Tourist Information Bureaux and various shops in Emsworth, plus the Westbourne Co-op. All last year’s entrants have been sent a schedule. To give an idea of the opportunities, we list the Sections below.

In addition to the marquee, we have many other attractions for grown ups and children alike, including the Fun Dog Show and many entertainers in both the large and small arenas. Refreshments will be available plus a wide range of stalls and entertainment for the children. The first prize in the lottery is a set of garden furniture donated by JUST OUT (Havant) Garden Furniture. There are many other prizes (including cash) so don’t forget to buy some tickets. Tickets will be on sale in the EHS hut in advance. All this for £2 per head (primary school children free if accompanied by an adult) plus £2 to park if you bring your car. The Mayor of Havant has kindly agreed to open the Show and our friend, gardening writer and speaker, David Hurrion, will give out the trophies.
