Cholsey Show - still making village history
Well, what can we say... if all goes to plan we intend to hold the 78th Village show on the 29th August 2021 (bank holiday Saturday).
In its earlier times what was then known as the Cholsey Flower Show was never just that – it was much more extensive. There were marquees showing produce, rabbits, poultry and cage birds. There was a horse gymkhana and the day ended with fireworks and a dance in the large marquee. In recent times along with the marquee, stallholders and refreshments we've had dog and duck shows (though not together), brass bands, samba, morris men, punch and judy, kids games...
While we are still not quite sure what this year might bring we do want to add to the local history and just help make the village smile through some tough times. We ran a virtual show last year so we don’t give up easily – and hope that our show this year is among those things that everyone locally will welcome back, in reality.
For now the show schedule is below for those interested in entering, as are some calls for help and the all important thank you messages we have so far. We can't do it without you...
