Entries are now open for our competition at this year's Brockholes Village Fete!
This year's Village Fete will be taking place Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th August 2024, and we'll be hosting our exciting competition on both of these days.
Categories available to enter
We're looking for entries for a range of categories that will allow entrants to show off their skills and talents including baking, handicrafts, vegetable growing, drawing, photography, and more. As you may expect, most categories have a nature or wildlife-inspired theme.
Our children's competition categories include: a miniature garden, a vegetable monster, a drawing, a hand-decorated pebble, an item crafted from recycled materials.
Our general competition categories include: preserves, baking, handicrafts, photography, floral art, and vegetable growing.
Learn more about our categories in detail on our competition entry form.
Prizes on offer
Our children's competition winners will each receive a certificate and a toy of their choosing from our on-site shop.
Our general competition winners will each receive a certificate and a hand crafted wooden bird box.
