Welcome to Theale Show!
Theale Show 2021 - Saturday 4 September starting at 2:30pm
For those of us lucky enough to have some outdoor space, and have had the opportunity over lockdown to spend some time nurturing and growing things, this is your chance to take on the local big guns with your prize veg and flowers in the Competition at the Theale Show on Saturday 4th September.
As well as a comprehensive schedule for all things grown, there’s a whole host of categories for all things homemade, be it cider, cakes or handicrafts. (We’re expecting to be overwhelmed with sourdough bread!). There’s also loads of craft categories for children so it's worth picking up the schedule before the summer holidays start so you have something up your sleeve for those rainy days indoors. And as an incentive, as well as the kudos of a Theale Show Certificate, there’s cash prizes for the winners!
We’re also planning a bit of a party in the evening, with some foot stomping country blues live music courtesy of the Clay Bottom Jug Busters, food stalls (including real Mexican food!)and The Green Man Bar.
So put the date, Saturday 4th September, in your diary, now!
Download a temporary Competition Schedule from here, or you can pick up a printed version from July from most Wedmore shops. You'll be able to register your Entries to the Competition online from 1st August, or you can use a paper Entry Form that will be available from July in local Shops anytime before that. Or just come along to our 2 Entry Evenings 7-9pm in Theale Village Hall, Wednesday 1st September & Thursday 2nd September for those last minute entries!
