2025 Village Show
It was so good to see how many people entered and visited the village show on Saturday, September 13th. Astonishingly there were exactly the same number of exhibits as last year, but a different spread of course. Because of the unpredictable weather in the afternoon we were unable to have any refreshments outside so the lounge was very busy all the time. The atmosphere was delightful, lots of chats with friends and neighbours old and new, once again a most enjoyable village “do”!
A special thanks goes to our exhibition judges across the different categories and also to our exhibitors, which this year included:
- Foxton Scarecrow Festival (taking place on Saturday 4th October 2025)
- Cam Valley Orchards (who kindly donated a gift box of apple juice for our raffle)
- Foxton Craft and Create group (and their crafted poppy display which is under construction – find out how to get involved here)
- Foxton Board Gamers group
- Richard Houghton and his bee keeping demonstration
- André Neves photography
- Ben Toloui and his NumberQuash game
Funds raised from the show (e.g. show entries, admissions, raffle tickets) will be used to replace the Foxton War Memorial shrubs and pots.
A list of this year’s prize-winners can be found here.
Thank you to everyone who took part, attended, and supported the show. Here’s to next year!
