Topsham Allotments and Gardens Society
Topsham Flower and Vegetable Show
ABOUT THE SHOW
The Annual Topsham Flower and Vegetable Show is a friendly competition in garden and kitchen produce and also garden-related photography and poetry.
It is for anyone living in Topsham and the surrounding area, including members of TAGS and the Topsham Flower Club, all allotment holders and gardeners. We are particularly keen for children to take part.
We also aim to:
- To raise funds through sales of produce, a raffle and the sale of tea & cakes to cover the costs of running the Show.
- To promote the purpose of the Society by advertising the benefits of membership and recruiting of new members.
- To be an enjoyable event for the contestants, show volunteers and members of the general public.
The first Show was held in 1967 and has evolved to include about 70 Classes, mostly vegetables, fruit and flowers, but including kitchen produce which we are trying to encourage. It also includes a very popular Photography Competition. 2024 will see the introduction of a new poetry class and 3 classes specifically for children.
The Show is open to the public between 2 and 4pm. During that time there is a Raffle, a stall where you can buy local produce, and a marquee where tea & cake is served. You’re welcome to attend the prize giving at the end - it is a lovely community event!
TAGS SHOW 2025
The next TAGS Show will be held on Sunday 17th August 2025.
