“A great day out in the summer”

Next Show –  Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th July 2025

The Show is a real community event – a combination of a traditional flower and produce show and a country fair, which has been going since 1863.   The Show is an opportunity for the Portishead community to get together to enjoy arena attractions, showcase local talent and to  enjoy some retail therapy and scrummy refreshments.   The Competition Class schedule with details of the classes to enter can be found at the bottom of the Competition Classes page and will will shortly be available to purchase from local shops.

The Society would like to thank the following companies for their sponsorship of the 2025 Show : Nest Associates (main sponsor), The Hawthorns, Coffi Lab, Portishead and Life:Aligned Chiropractic.

We are now taking applications for our ever popular trade stands with 62 stalls already booked so if you are interested please check out our Trader pages.

Some of the feedback from the public, traders and entertainers  for the 2024 Show :

“We had a wonderful afternoon on Saturday.  The quality of the entries in the different sections were amazing!  My husband particularly loved the fruit ‘pictures’ by the children.  I think it was a tangerine octopus that took his fancy. I loved the pineapple dinosaur – it was great.  We met lots of lovely people some we knew and some we do now.  My favourite event of the year.  Well done.

”A brilliant community event, providing entertainment, competitions and demonstrations for all age groups”

“It was brilliant as usual – thank you very much”

“A very impressive mix of attractions: reflection of the hard work by the organisers and volunteers. Well done to all involved”

and one from 2023

“Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work that goes on in the background to make this Show happen. It is always the highlight of the 1st week of the summer holidays, a chilled week with the craft box out for my daughter to use her imagination and to get creative. The excitement of the morning to go into the Show tent to see how she has got on it is almost like her face at Christmas.  Winning a rosette and some money is always a memory my daughter will cherish….’
