This year’s Calverley Show will celebrate the re-opening of the village historic Old Hall by
displaying all the entries in the art classes in the hall’s community room.
The show, on Saturday August 16, will be held as usual in the Methodist Hall, with vegetables, fruit, flowers, baking, handicraft, photography and children’s classes on display,
as well as refreshments and entertainment from Drighlington Brass Band.
With an increasing number of art entries and the re-opening of the Old Hall after years of
renovation, Calverley Horticultural Society decided to move that part of the show there and, weather permitting, invite people to enjoy the community garden, said Show Secretary Noel Akers.
“It’s a bit of a gamble on our part, expecting people to move between the two venues, but we hope they will be keen to visit the community room at the Old Hall, and enjoy the art,” he said.
There are 77 classes for adults and 11 for children, though they can enter any they are
eligible for.
To celebrate the 25 th anniversary of Calverley in Bloom, there are three fun floral classes which will be judged by Councillor Andrew Carter.
All entries except art can be submitted on the evening of Friday, 15 August between 6pm and 9pm and Saturday between 8am and 9.30am to the Methodist Hall. Art entries should be taken to the Old Hall Community Room between 6pm and 8pm on the Friday and 10-11am on the Saturday. Photography entries are online.
The schedule is on the CHS website or available locally.
