The Hutton Cranswick 9th Village Show on The Green is back!

It takes place on Saturday 26th July 2025 - 11am to 5pm.

There will be an opportunity to enter the show exhibition of local craft work and produce. The schedule and entry forms will be available in May.

Look at this year’s show schedule with details of rules and guidance for entries via this link: Village Show Schedule 2025

It’s completely anonymous to enter unless you win! Make sure you submit an entry for each item you are bringing to the show (e.g. if you knit two jumpers, you will need to list two separate entries on your entry form, with the same class number).

A maximum of two entries per class, but you can enter as many different classes as you like. Please do not put your name on any item. It needs to be anonymous, or it may be disqualified.

Cookery:

All cookery exhibits should be presented cold (not warm). They must be chilled quickly after baking and then brought to the exhibition tent wrapped/covered for health and safety reasons. Ensure you check the measurements/size requirements/quantities in the schedule.

Val’s set recipe: please stick to the recipe, and only the recipe. The aim of this class is to test baking skill, rather than something with extra additions/individual touch.

Preserves:

Make sure the jar is filled right to the top.

Put your entry sticker on the jar, not the lid, as lids can easily get mixed up!

Art & photography:

The Art & Photography category will be separated into two categories from this year. Our community submits so many fantastic entries that we wanted to make sure there will be a 'Best in Show' rosette for both the Art and the Photography entries. There will also be a new trophy for Art, kindly donated by Julia Norton.

Art exhibits:

We would like you to stick to a reasonable size (roughly A4) to make sure we can fit in all the exhibits, but if yours is bigger, don’t worry, we appreciate that artistic creations may not so easily fit into the size stated in the schedule, and therefore we will do our best to display it.

Photographs:

Please try to stick to a reasonable print size and present mounted, if possible. Most previous winners have been around 6"x4" print size, so bigger isn’t necessarily better!

The handicrafts category is always extremely popular, so this year the knitted and crocheted item classes will both be split into two classes each (a fine knit and a double knit), enabling more prizes to be awarded. We have also added another class to provide a separate entry space for anyone who wants to enter a model of any kind using any medium.

We are organising a Dog Show sponsored by Field of Paws dog exercise area and the village Tug of War competition sponsored by James White Butchers.

The new regular Craft & Produce Market runs on the 4^th Saturday of each month and will be in our show tent on the day.
