The greatest little show in the South has gone digital, and we will be bringing you a new virtual experience from the Emsworth Show this summer to lift your spirits and reflect on the good things that have come out of these challenging times, and to inspire our local communities to grow together.

There will be no entry fees and no cups, medals or prizes awarded this year.  The Emsworth Virtual Show is an opportunity for members of the Emsworth Horticultural Society and residents living within Hampshire and West Sussex to showcase their skills and talent in horticulture and other areas to a wider audience, and to encourage people all around the world to get growing.

We particularly want to encourage our young people to discover the joys of horticulture, handicrafts, cookery and photography.

We invite local businesses, entertainers and stallholders who attend our show to get involved and upload their logo, company profile (maximum 35 words) and a landscape photo or video to our ‘Supporters of the Show’ Gallery for an exciting preview for our 2021 Show, and so that we can support you and your business, stall or group to keep your business, stall or group alive and to build your online presence.

We also encourage people living in Hampshire and West Sussex to get involved and share your stories and love for gardening in our Live Community Gardening Room.

Entries submitted will be displayed on our site and open to a public vote from midday Sunday 30th August and closes at 6pm on Monday 31st August 2020, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd ratings awarded to every class in our Exhibition Rooms.

Entries to be submitted no later than 6pm on Friday 28th August.

The show committee are really excited to be able to do this and have, for the first time, also introduced a special class only for gardeners from further afield.
