All Saints Village Show 2024

Another year, another show. Done!

Despite the weather’s best efforts to put a spoke in the wheel, the folk of All Saints came up trumps once again, with a whopping 468 entries from 79 entrants. (A few didn’t come to fruition, but the intention is to be applauded).

Thank you all for taking part; that’s what makes the show a success.

The village hall was transformed into something positively glorious, the church buzzed and hummed with music from The Rip Chords and the school provided a quieter zone, to peruse photography and limericks.

Even the invited ‘support acts’ (stallholders), battled the elements; not one cancellation. A hearty thank you to them all, along with thanks to the band of merry helpers, who ‘kept smiling through’, and of course, to Verity Bengough for being our very special Guest of Honour.

So, to the awards
