Great Bardfield has held its first village event for 18 months.
Despite the dreadful hail storm a couple of weeks ago which decimated gardens, there were over 150 exhibits on the benches in many varied categories for the Bardfield Horticultural Society Summer Show in the Town Hall.
The children’s sunflower growing challenge proved popular, with every child who took part getting a prize.
Colourful and interesting displays included floral art depicting ‘Life on the Bird Table’.
Tea and cakes were served at The Bell Inn in a marquee next door to the hall.
Trophies and cups were presented to winners.
It was a super event which bought the village together again in a safe, well run environment.
