The event is open to all, from experienced exhibitors to novices.

Mayor Geoff Watson said: “The spring show is a wonderful showcase of beautiful spring blooms – tulips, daffodils, amaryllis – they look stunning. But there are lots of other classes to consider including handicrafts, baking and children’s events.”
