Melsonby Parish Village Show 2018

Melsonby Parish Village Show   2018

If you have never exhibited in the Show before, HAVE A GO THIS YEAR. Just one exhibit will make a difference and ensure that the show continues to be an important event in the village’s calendar.

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 neighbors’ prize exhibits, there is the opportunity to obtain lots of lovely fresh veggies and homemade 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 of the irrepressible Mr Vince ‘Who Will Give Me More?’  Elrington.
