Sponsored by Kingsleigh Estate Agents, our Autumn Show takes places on Saturday 6 September at Dedham’s Assembly Rooms on the High Street CO7 6HJ. The Show is open to visitors from 2 – 4pm.

For exhibitors, it’s free to enter as many classes as you like and you can choose from flowers and plants, cookery, floral arrangements and photography.

We want to encourage more people to exhibit in our village show for the first time, so will present a brand new trophy, the Novice Cup, from this year.

To be eligible for the trophy, you must not have exhibited at either of our shows in the past two years. In practice this means that to qualify for the Cup in our Autumn Show 2025, you will not have entered our shows in Spring 2025, Autumn and Spring 2024, and Autumn 2023. If you have never entered our shows, then you could also win this trophy.

The winning exhibitor will be the person with the most points in Sections A-D in Autumn Show and Sections A-B in the Spring Show. Like all our trophies, winners have their names engraved and keep the cup for a year.

If you have any questions about exhibiting, please email us. We know it can be a little intimidating but we’re a friendly village show and we’d love new people to join in. We can help you on the day too if you’re not sure what to do with your exhibits.
