Welcome to Theale Show!

Looking forward to 2021 !

We plan to hold our annual Show on 4th September 2021 in and around Theale, but we'll see what happens nearer the time! But reserve the date now and start creating or growing your entries....

We're also organising additional fundraising and fun raising events during the year, with the first being a Quiz on Saturday 13^th February (online or socially distanced in the Village Hall). Call our information line on 01934 806157 to reserve tickets.

As we had great success with our "virtual" Show last September, we plan another one in 2021 on Saturday 17th April 2021. If we can, we'll make this a social event too in Theale Village Hall. Come back here for more details!

The Show is always looking for additional help and supporters so email us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to find out more!

Thank you for all your support over the last year and look forward to seeing you sometime during 2021, hopefully face to face!

AGM 2020

We had 17 members attend our "Zoom" hosted AGM (and therefore COVID-19 safe!).

Here are some highlights:

Nick Armitage took over as Chair from Phil Butterworth, with Stuart Danning continuing as Vice Chair
We plan to hold another "Virtual" Show in the Spring of 2021, subject to COVID. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you want to help or find out more about this.
We also plan to hold a "proper" Theale Show on the first Saturday in September 2021 (4th September), COVID-19 permitting, with much more in the way of attractions as well as the usual Show format!

There were 2 propositions to change the current Constitution

To formally change the "Theale Show" - which was agreed
To modify how Theale Show can spend its funds -this was not agreed.

We plan to develop the ideas through the New Year and we'll let you know how we get on!

Theale "Virtual" Show - many thanks!

A lot of villagers entered our "virtual" competition and we've finished judging the entries. We had over 120 entries - many more than we expected!

You'll have noticed that, following extensive discussions with the organising team and long time members, we've decided to change the name of the Show to "Theale Show" to reflect the changing nature of the Show (decreasing fruit, flower & vegetable entries and activities, significantly increased craft and other activities). In the future, we also want to develop the Show into a wider range of activities for the village, whilst retaining its very popular features.

Originally the Show was officially called "Theale Fruit & Flower Show" and this name was enshrined in the Constitution. At this year's AGM held on 16 November, it was agreed to change the constitution and the official name to "Theale Show" !
