S C O U T H E A D Q U A R T E R S Ashton Way Car Park March 23, 2024 | 12-5PM 50p entrance fee. Free for under 16s
Hello
and welcome to Keynsham Town Council’s 2nd Annual Spring Show. Last year, we introduced the community to our first-ever Spring Show and we were thrilled with the response. So much so, that we immediately knew that the Spring Show had to have a permanent place in the community events calendar.
The Spring Show is an opportunity to not only exhibit your beautiful spring flowers but to show off your creative side in our Arts & Handicraft and Cookery sections. Based on community feedback we’ve also introduced some new categories that we can’t wait for you all to see. We’ve also extended the age groups and introduced an Under 16's section to give a platform for Keynsham’s young people.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Scout HQ again this year to see all your beautiful creations.
We hope you have a wonderful day at the show, and enjoy the activities we have on offer.
