Flower, Produce & Craft Show

It's the time for planting seeds and get growing! Check out the 2025 Growing Schedule below...

The creative heart of the Binsted Fete is the traditional Flower, Produce & Craft competition - an important aspect of the event since the 1800's! There is something for everyone to enter whether you are 4 to 104. It's a perfect way to show off your green fingers, home bake specialties and craft creations and everyone has a chance of taking one of our beautiful trophies to proudly display at home until next year.
