MORTIMER WEST END & DISTRICT ANNUAL SHOW
BANK HOLIDAY SATURDAY – 23RD AUGUST 2025

You can exhibit vegetables, fruit, flowers, handicrafts, photographs, artwork, baking (all 40p per exhibit) and fun stuff for kids (free to enter) and there is prize money and cups to win!
There's something for everyone!
We look forward to seeing your handiwork!
Entries to the show are welcomed from anyone in the neighbourhood.
You don’t have to be a resident of Mortimer West End.
Or you can just come along in the afternoon to admire the work of others (£1 entry).
Please spread the word!

The schedule (posted below) will also be available as a pdf in the calendar at www.mortimervillage.org.uk and as a booklet (look out for the green cover) at a number of local shops.

If you would like to enter something into the show, the entry slips are also below. You need to print the two pages back to back to get double-sided labels, with the example slips at the top of each page.
Alternatively there is a printed version in the middle of the schedules available in the shops.
Or if you can't get any entry slips before the day, don't worry, there will be some available at the village hall.

Just bring your items to the desk in the entrance hall, where there will be someone to check your labels and collect your entrance fee and then direct you to to the correct tables to display your exhibits.

The timetable for the day is:
Entries: 8.30 am – 10.45 am
Judging: 10.45 am – 2.30 pm
Viewing: 2.30 pm – 4.00 pm
Prize Giving: 4.00 pm – 4.30 pm

We look forward to seeing you there!
