THE Dowlish Wake and District Flower and Produce Show took place last weekend for the first time since the Covid pandemic.

The event took place on Sunday, September 4 at 2pm in Speke Hall and St Andrews Church.

Neighbouring villages in the district supported this annual event with entrants of all ages.

There was a range of sections for entry including Vegetables and Fruit, Flowers, Floral Art, Homemade Preserves and Cookery, Arts and crafts, and Photography.

There is a special section for children with ages ranging from 4 and under to 15 years.

The Potato Dig features in all ages and is won by the child who has grown the greatest weight of potatoes from a single tuber, in addition there is 'Face on a Plate' for the 4 and under and a Rainbow or Miniature pond for all ages.

This year the Floral Art topics included arrangements “In an Unusual container”, “Favourite book” and “Planet(s)”.
