We Invented The Weekend‘s sprawling programme of events includes something for everyone, including the green-fingered among you.

Feeling fruity: A category to show off your juiciest produce.

Most unusual fruit or vegetable: For weird and wonderful edibles….anything goes!

Just for kids: Under 16 years olds can enter this category with anything edible they’ve grown at home or school.

Cut Flowers: If you’re growing cut flowers this year, bring your best display and show just how pretty as well as productive our green spaces can be.
