What better way to enjoy a Summer's day than a traditional English village show! The West Chiltington Village Show offers a range of fun attractions including stalls, music, entertainment, dog show, classic cars, children’s races and a tug of war competition. There is also the opportunity to enter these competitions for 2024: Home Produce (adult & under 16's classes), Handicrafts (adults), Special Classes (all ages), Paintings & Drawings (adults), Photographs (adult & under 16's classes) and finally Children's Classes (years 1-2, 3-6 and 7-11). Who knows you may walk away with 'Best in Show'!
The West Chiltington Fete and Flower Show was founded in 1919 as part of the Peace Celebrations after the First World War. In 1939, the Second World War put an end to the event for a while, however it was restarted six years later as part of the village’s victory celebrations.
The West Chiltington Village Show is organised by the community for the community, any surplus is reinvested in local good causes. We can never have too many volunteers but understand many people do not have the time or desire to attend committee meeting, Why not put your name forward as a helper during the build up or during the show. We carry out a briefing a day or two in advance so you get to know what you will be doing and who you will be working with — it’s lots of fun.
