Bardfield Horticultural Society filled the town hall with colour for its annual summer show.

Despite the rainy weather, the show was a success, with a wide range of flowers and vegetables on display.

Linda Prior, from the Horticultural Society, said: "Some amazing vegetables were exhibited, with possibly the largest onions we have ever had!

"A steady stream of visitors came along in the afternoon and enjoyed the cakes and tea served in The Bell pub next door, who even lit the fire for us to look cheerful!

"Special thanks were given to the hardworking Horticultural Society committee for another splendid show! Roll on 2024."
