MELSONBY PARISH VILLAGE SHOW BAKING COMPETITION 2025

SATURDAY 18TH OCTOBER IN MELSONBY CHURCH

As the Village Show has been cancelled this year this competition is being held during the Harvest Festival weekend, on Saturday 18th October, and is open to anyone from the village, or with an involvement in a village organisation. All proceeds from the competition will be donated to the Richmond Food Bank. So, come along and join in, have some fun and raise some money!

What do you need to do?

Submit an Entry Form to Lynda Watts, 16 East Road by no later than 9 p.m. on Thursday 16th October. Entries are 20p for adults, free for children 15 and under. Only one entry for each individual Class though,

On the day, bring your entries to the Church between 10 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. and display them.

Judging will start at 12.45 p.m. so come back at 3.30 p.m. to find out the results. The overall winner and runner up will be presented with a trophy.

Bring some money with you as there will be a small raffle. The main event though is an auction of lots of the entries, so a chance to buy lots of cakes, scones, preserves etc. If you would prefer to take your entries home, that’s absolutely fine. You’ll get a chance to remove them before the Auction begins.
