The Show itself is open to all. Classes cover vegetables, flowers, painting, photography, cakes, jams and preserves. Some classes are reserved for children.

The Fete centres around a tea tent, BBQ and bar, with traditional entertainment including a band, horse and cart, and competitions such as welly wanging and bowling the bacon. Stalls vary from year to year, but a visit has to be made to the produce stall, the bric a brac and the book stall which are permanent attractions. Finally, there are several raffles and a Prize Draw. This always includes a number of very exciting prizes.

Proceeds are distributed to local charities and other local causes.
