Autumn Show 2023
Supported by
Saturday 9 September 2023
The show happened to fall on the hottest day of the year, but entrants still braved the humidity inside the hall to present a smashing show!
With over 280 exhibits from 47 entrants, the show benches were back to their pre-Covid levels.
This year’s show was initially closed to the public, but the new Committee made the decision earlier in the year to open it up to the whole community, to celebrate what Verwood has to offer.
