We had never been to the Taunton Flower show before, even though it is very well established being the oldest flower show in the UK. We prepaid our tickets but had to queue to get in. Going at opening time obviously is the busiest time, won’t make that mistake again.
The Taunton Flower Show takes place in Vivary Park which in itself has magnificent beds of flowers, run by the council.
There were lots of craft stalls, and food stalls
and plant stalls, with metal objects for your garden being very popular this year.
A Blacksmith was giving a demonstration.
In the flower marquee there were air plants,
and carnivorous plants,
gladioli,
and mixed displays of all sorts of other flowers.
We watched some GMX bikers in the arena doing somersaults in the air.
The combined marching bands of Bideford & Barnstaple had both bagpipes and flutes and drums. They were very good.
In the arena also was a dog agility show and then some aerial acrobatic girls who performed with long ribbons.
Something for everyone. It was very busy, lots of families and lots of people and it was hot today! The ducks were loving it.
