Entries for the show are to be staged on Saturday (August 24), with the show open to the public on Sunday (August 25) and Monday (August 26).

Full details, along with a downloadable brochure and entry form, are available from the WHAS website: www.whasociety.org

There are many entry classes which have a variety of age groups and sections of the community.

There are 10 entry classes aimed specifically for children in the town in the ages four to seven and ages eight to 11 year age ranges.

All trophies will be presented by the Mayor of Warwick on the Monday afternoon. Photo by Warwick Horticultural and Allotment Society.

This year's special ‘Open Class’ in the floral art section will celebrate the Paris Olympic Games, and entrants can “let their imagination and artistic talent run freely to depict the event in any way they choose”.

The “WHAS Growers’ Challenge” Class is for the more ambitious, where gardening groups, which can be a number of exhibitors from a single allotment site, charity, gardening organisation or similar not-for-profit horticultural group, can use their gardening and artistic skills to produce a display.

The entries will be assessed by a panel of judges and the winner can receive a cash prize of up to £100.

All trophies will be presented by the Mayor of Warwick, Cllr David Skinner, on the Monday afternoon.

There are many other cash prizes on offer across the classes and the WHAS says it welcomes entries from both members and non-members – particularly from young people.

A spokesperson from WHAS said: “Whether entering the show or just visiting, it will be an entertaining day out for all the family.”

The show will be open from 10.30am on both the Sunday and Monday.
