SPRING SHOW 2026 CLASSES

Cookery

There are lots of opportunities, whether you like making bread, cakes, scones or preserves and more. You can enter as many classes as you want.

This year we have selected another local recipe – Felton Spiced Loaf – and we have provided a nut-free recipe, which everyone who enters this class must use.

Floral Art

This is open to everyone and the winner will be announced based on votes submitted by anyone who bought an admission ticket.

The topic for this year’s show is “Table centre piece for a spring wedding”.

Flowers

There is something for everyone here – adults & children, those new to showing flowers and well as seasoned exhibitors.

This is not only for growers of daffodils & tulips, there is also a general section for other plants and flowers.

Fly-tying

We welcome back fishing fans to the fly-tying category.

Handicrafts

If you like sewing, knitting or cross-stitch, have a look at the classes that have been selected for this year’s show.

Photography

We welcome photography for the first time – there is an open category which children and adults can enter, as well as age classes for children under 11 years old and children aged 11 to 16 years old.

The topic, for all classes, this year is “Photograph of Alnwick”.

Children's Classes

There is a variety of classes for children to demonstrate their creativity – poetry, arts & crafts, cookery and photography. There are 3 age classes – children under 11 years old, children aged 11 to 16 years old and an open class for all children aged 16 years and under.

We greatly appreciate the support that we receive from grant funders, sponsors and supporters, we would not be able to deliver such a successful event without them.
