There are 105 classes for people to enter covering categories as wide ranging as vegetables and fruits, flowers, baking, honey, wines, children’s, art and photography.
Entries are accepted on Friday 23rd from 6pm until 9pm at the Methodist Church and in advance by special arrangement with the show secretary Beverley Smith in writing, by phone or email.

Money raised from the show will go to supporting Rodley Nature Reserve.
Calverley Horticultural Society is a community organisation whose objectives are to “encourage the furtherance of horticulture as a hobby and recreation including the promotion of social events and an annual show”.
The society runs events all year round including the recent first ever Calverley open gardens which raised £900 for a local hedgehog rescue and organises the gold rated Calverley in Bloom.
