Bridport: Melplash Show's homecraft and horticulture exhibition attracts hundreds of entries

Without the Melplash Show happening this year, the Melplash Agricultural Society made the brave decision to run a standalone summer homecraft and horticulture show on what would have been show day - August 26 - open to exhibitors only.

To their delight, it was very successful with more than 750 entries across all categories.

Local gardeners took the opportunity to show off the fruit, vegetables and flowers of their labour, whilst others showed their baking and artistic talents.

Lucy Hart, society secretary, said: "Although slightly smaller than usual, the entries were as always fantastic and of very high standard.

"It was also fantastic to see that we had attracted some new exhibitors too.

"It is very important to us after not having the Melplash Show last year or this that we keep the momentum going.

"I really can't thank the section chairmen, volunteers, judges and sponsors enough for all they did to make the day the success it was."
