The 2024 Foxton Village Show was an event for the entire community.

The 86th annual Foxton Village show was held on Saturday the 7th of September at the Village Hall with nearly 400 entries from over 60 participants. While the number and quality of this years’ exhibits were certainly impressive, the true measure of the event’s success has always been measured by the number of Foxton friends and families that join us to enjoy the day’s festivities.

The Foxton Village Show is a traditional event that lies at the very heart of village life and it is wonderful to see how vegetables, flowers, fruit, pot plants, homemade produce, photography, and crafts can bring our community together. In the company of our neighbours we enjoyed the bounty of our gardens, and delighted in our creativity, accompanied by a hot cup of tea and delicious slice of cake.

Helping us adjudicate and present 20 cups and trophies to this years’ lucky winners was a team of expert judges and our Cambridgeshire District Councillor, James Hobro, with special prizes also awarded to the amazing craft and project entries in our youth categories.

We were also pleased to host several Foxton community groups that are always looking for volunteers and support. This included the Foxton Twinning Association, The Foxton Singers, Friends of the Foxton Wood, and the Christmas Windows Project. You can learn more about these worthy organisations by referring to their articles in the latest edition of The Laurentian. Please consider getting involved!

Our special thanks to all the people that made this years’ Village Show such a tremendous event: the FGA members, the judges, the cake bakers, and everyone that lent a hand. Mark your calendar for the 13th of September 2025 for the 87th Foxton Village Show. We look forward to seeing you with your entries next year.
