Adults pay 50p per entry up to 10 entries, additional entries are free. For juniors (up to age 15), entry is free. We can take payment in cash or by card.

Entries can be brought to the Methodist Hall on Friday 14 August 2026 between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm (preferred), or on Saturday 15 August 2026 between 8.00 am and 9.30 am. Judging will start promptly at 10.00 am, please allow adequate time for registration and staging if you are entering on Saturday. Please note that the hall will be closed to exhibitors and visitors during judging.

Registration

All entries can be made with or without prior registration. You need to provide your full name and say whether you are an adult or junior.

Some trophies are restricted to entrants who are residents of Calverley, or have an allotment plot in the village and some are only open to novices, i.e. exhibitors who have not previously won a trophy at this or similar shows, so we will also need this information at the time of registration.

You also need to say how many entries you are making in each class and will receive a uniquely numbered printed label for each entry, which you need to attach to your entry. Paper plates and vases will be provided for your entries where required. Please see the schedule for the (very few) classes where you need to provide a container.

Our stewards will be on hand to help you stage your entries, and to answer any questions you may have about the show. If you need to change or add to your entries, this can be done any time up to 10.00 am Saturday.

It is now too late to pre-register. Please enter, or change your existing entries, in person when you arrive at the show.
