BIELBY SHOW DATE

The Show committee met earlier this week and agreed to hold the next Village show on Saturday August 8th 2026, Dale Greenaway has agreed to host again for which we offer many thanks.

There is also rumour of a bucket of Spuds competition, which for those of you who were around 10 or 11 years ago this is a re-launch of a super spud fundraiser to keep the show going in future years. So when further information comes out, please put your hands in your pockets and buy an entry to grow as many spuds in your bucket as your green fingers can cultivate. We will be providing a bucket, a seed potato and then its up to you how you grow your spud to achieve maximum yield. On the day of the show, bring your bucket down to be weighed in. Heaviest 3 weights will win a prize.
