Show secretary Deborah Tovey with her flower display and a few of the impressive veg entries.

Horsehay Horticultural Society’s annual flower, vegetable and craft show attracted more than 400 exhibits.

Spokesman Chris Jackson said: “We had 90 exhibitors and 426 exhibits, which is over 100 exhibits more than last year. The judges were very impressed with their quality.

Mr Jackson said the vegetable entries were up, with more than 20 potatoes entered, and there were visitors all afternoon.

“A big thank you to everyone involved,” he added.

Meanwhile, organisers are appealing for information about the show’s origins.

Mr Jackson said: “We believe the show goes back to around 1937, with a short break for the war, but have not got the evidence to prove this.

“Is there anyone out there who has details or photos of the show at any time so we can start to link the years together? Photos and details would go on the show web page for everyone to see.”

Anyone who can help supply information can contact Mr Jackson on 01952 417578 or email  deb-tovey@blueyonder.co.uk
