Exford Flower Show in 2026
The 2026 show continues the traditional mix of vegetables, flowers, floral art, home crafts, home produce, photography and children's classes, while the committee has also modernised the administration behind the event.
Modernised show administration
The programme used by the committee has been improved for 2026, including clearer navigation, entrant management, class updates, scoring controls and show-day spreadsheet checks.
