This year, there were 36 classes (see below) and our guest judges picked their favourites to award 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, with the Best in Show picked from all their winners. Glenn and Rose Bailey received the first John Grue Award for their amazing doll house.

We want to say a big thank you to our brilliant judges: Beccy Lane – local photographer, Rob from Lymefield, Karen from Stop the Clock and Laura and Giordano from Tigellae.

Visitors to the show were also given the opportunity to vote for their favourite entry. Their choices were varied and it came down to a photo finish, with The People’s Choice Award going to Lesley Bardsley for her wonderful painting.

There were some great raffle prizes too…
