Pilning Flower Show Saturday 23rd August 2025
Pilning Flower Show Saturday 23rd August 2025
Blessed by a beautifully sunny day, Pilning Open Flower Show celebrated its 130th year with the annual show held at St Peter’s School, Pilning. The big winners on the day were Aly and Tim Dark who came away with eight trophies including Best in Show for Top Vase, highest points in vegetables, flowers and for the whole show, best allotment in Severn Beach and best tasting jam! The best in show was a close-run thing, with Bob Roper’s Top Tray and Jane O’Leary’s beautifully crafted jacket in crafts, also pushing for glory.
Boosted by the entries of Pilning Rainbows and Severn Beach Cubs, there were a record 88 competitors in the show beating the figure set in 2012. Numbers of entries were similar to last year at just over 400, but with significantly fewer vegetables and fruit due to the weather. Strangely numbers in baking were lower too.
Other significant award winners for most points scored were: Victoria Bywater, fruit; Catherine Fish, baking; Pat Edwardes, flower arranging and Gill King, photos. Ivy and Dexter Reeves shone in the 8 years and under and 14 years and under children’s classes. Carol and John Miller won best Dahlias and best front garden Severn Beach, whilst Pat Edwardes won best front garden in Pilning. Lorna Fussell from the Old Piggery B&B received best commercial frontage and David Thorn was presented with Freedom of the Parish for his many services to Severn Beach.
Including the judges and helpers, there were over 250 people attending the show. The school hall was packed, and with the sun shining, people could enjoy outside; refreshments, the raffle and the entertaining auction of produce and donated items. The awards were presented by Paula Basham from Sight Support (West of England). The charity will receive all monies raised from this year’s show and were presented with an initial cheque for £500 on the day. The committee was delighted by how the day went and for the generosity of local people and businesses donating items for the raffle and auction. A big thank you to everyone that entered to show and came along to visit and support.

2024 Pilning Flower Show Spectacular
The Pilning Open Flower Show held at St Peter’s School, Pilning on Saturday 24th August was a resounding success. Calls by the organisers, prior to the show, for new competitors to come forward, were answered. There were 77, the highest number since the show’s record of 2012 and a very respectable 411 entries. Over 200 people visited in the afternoon to see the wonderful displays including vegetables and baking which were up on last year, as well as the younger children’s classes, boosted by the local Rainbows group. In addition to the normal prize money and treats, every child entering the show received a £5 Hobbycraft gift voucher, which may entice them back again next year.
Best in show was a beautiful woollen hat made by parish resident Meaghan O’Neil. This hand knitted craft showcased a five-coloured Fair Isle stranded design. Meaghan recently joined the committee and designed the website for the Flower Show where you can find all the results from the 73 classes and photos from the day.

The awards were presented by Karen Vizard, representing the Alveston based child bereavement charity ‘Made a Mark’, who will receive proceeds from this year’s show. Record amounts were raised from the entertaining auction of produce and donated items delivered by Nick Harley and Duncan Kemp and the bumper raffle which concluded at around 5:30pm on a fine, but cool, summer’s evening.

2023 Pilning Flower Show Escapes the Rain
The 2023 show on 26th August once again proved to be a great success, with the outdoor auction of produce and grand raffle draw just concluding as the heavens opened. Visitors to the show had dug deep raising a record amount for the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity who were represented on the day by Alyson Kennea.
Competitors and entries were up by 10% from the previous year with fruit, preserves, baking, photography and crafts being particularly well supported. Wildlife photography (17), cherry tomatoes (15) and jam (12) topped out of the 429 entries.
Remarkably, 90-year-old show stalwart Edward England won best in show for his spectacular ‘King Charles III’ flower arrangement. Edward also took home trophies for most points in the show and in flowers, and the cup for tomatoes. Youth also prevailed with 9-year-old Ollie Roper winning the Harry Cox Cup for best spring sown onions and 13-year-old Beccy Latham Roberts sharing the cup for most points in fruit. Other trophy winner included Mervyn Reeves – specimen rose and most points in horticultural classes, Diane Lloyd most points in cakes, Helen & Jon Oates most points in flower arranging and Lizzie Latham Roberts most points children 14 and under.
The new Ian Kemp Memorial Cup was a first for the show in its 127-year history, as it was made by donor Duncan Kemp using 3D printing. This distinctive trophy was awarded for most points in photography and was won by Steven Wharram. A full set of results and award winners can be found on this website together with lots of photos from the day.
The main hall and grounds of St Peter’s School were full of visitors in the afternoon, who enjoyed the wonderful displays and the homemade refreshments. Show organisers were very pleased with the response and the compliments received for how things ran. They were particularly delighted by the generosity of local businesses and organisations featured in the programme and on this website who all donated money or items to be auctioned or included in the raffle. These are paramount to the continued success of the show and the funds raised for charity. Thank you everyone for your support. The show date for 2024 will be Saturday 24th August.
