Wem Town Hall will once again play host to the annual Wem Sweet Pea Show, which takes place over the weekend of July 20 to 21.
Organisers from Wem Town Hall and The Eckford Sweet Pea Society are excited to be bringing the show back to the iconic town for the third year in a row, after the original show hosts could no longer stage the show.
A hugely successful partnership between Wem Town Hall and the original show creators, The Eckford Sweet Pea Society, has meant that the show has been able to continue to celebrate Wem’s local heritage which brings flower enthusiasts from far and wide to the town. Wem is synonymous with the Sweet Pea flower, thanks to horticulturist Henry Eckford who cultivated over 200 varieties whilst living in the town.
The show aims to bring the local community together in celebration of the beautifully delicate flower, with classes for everyone from expert growers to children and novices.
The show takes place on Saturday, 20 July from 10am to 5pm, and Sunday, 21 July from 10am to 3pm with a presentation of trophies on the Saturday at 3pm.Tickets cost £3 for a day ticket or £5 for two days, children are free.
