Littlehampton Town Show is hailed a success

Littlehampton’s sixteenth town show and family fun day took place at Rosemead Park on Saturday afternoon .

The events included a horticultural and craft show, the garden and the allotments competition awards ceremony, live music and a free dog show.

Alan Humphrey, show manager, said the Horticultural Marquee attracted 605 entries from 118 exhibitors – 42 of which were children.

These numbers were up on last year, he added.

Wendy Minton was one of the more successful exhibitors along with Mr M Shambrook, Mr M Kempson and Mr T Love.

Winners in the children’s classes were Miss I Layt, Miss A Cotton and Miss A Bradshaw, Mr Humphrey said.

More than 50 groups showcased their organisations in the community marquee.

These included the history society, the Wicked Quilters, Littlehampton and District camera club, the Littlehampton Musical Comedy Society, the living history group and the Sussex Tornados.

Another stand was manned by staff from Littlehampton Shopmobility, who were pleased to receive a visit from the mayor.

Alan Gammon, chairman of Shopmobility said: “It was a really good day for the charity, our tombola raised £117 that will go towards buying a new mobility scooter.

“The visit from mayor Billy and his husband Chris rounded the day off perfect for us.”

For children, there were rides and activities, a youth tent and a chill-out zone run by Littlehampton’s Organisation of Community Arts.
