The show originated 250 years ago, but did not take place last summer due to lack of people to organise it.

This year it’s back, and categories include fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants, cakes, floral art, handicrafts and photography.

Committee member Sue Stevenson said: “It’s purely for fun and keeping the village alive. Hopefully people will enter in the true spirit of supporting Bishops Tachbrook.”

Bishops Tachbrook Horticultural Show will take place in Kingsley Road on Saturday August 20 from 1.30pm to 4.30pm.

The deadline for entries is August 17. Visit the parish website for information.
