There’s something for everyone if you come on down to the Brightlingsea Town Show today (Bank Holiday Monday, 25 Aug 2025).
Step inside the (air-conditioned!) exhibition hall at Brightlingsea Community Centre to see what the talented sowers, growers, bakers, crafters and photographers of the town have come up this year – stretching from the charm of the children’s entries, through to the adult categories – and have YOUR say by voting for the People’s Choice photo competition.
And then step outside to the stalls offering a range of tasty food and drink, plants and craft items for sale – or even try to Beat the Goalie or try your hand at some of the other challenges that the Rotary Club volunteers have on offer.
Don’t forget the magic of the Companion Dog Show with four-legged friends great and small showing of their charm and their talent. And if you feel like a bit of peace and quiet after all that excitement, why not pop along to the Lozenge Nature Reserve where expert volunteers from the British Naturalists Association are on hand to tell you more about Brightlingsea’s amazing natural diversity.
At midday the Town Show was proudly opened, as tradition dictates, by the Deputy of the Cinque Port Liberty Iain Werngren, together with Brightlingsea Town Mayor Cllr Chris Paveley along with Town Show President Roger Tabor.
And don’t forget to come along to the Grand Prizegiving at 4pm, to see who will take home the silverware this year, with cups, shields and prizes across all the categories.
