Even if you decide not to enter an exhibit, please come along and support our Village Show. You are promised a fun afternoon. In addition to perusing your friends’ and neighbours’ prize exhibits, there is the opportunity to obtain lots of lovely fresh veggies and home- made produce for your family’s delectation. Always a highlight of the afternoon, and not to be missed, is an auction of produce under the hammer. Melsonby Parish Village Show is organised by Melsonby Parish Village Show Committee.

The programme is attached and include a exhibit entry form.
