Since 1919, the aim of the Long Ashton Horticultural Society has been to promote flower and vegetable growing, and to bring people together to learn from each other. The centrepiece of our year is our Annual Show, a community event, for villagers to share with each other the amazing things that they have grown, cooked, photographed or made.  You just missed our 2025 show – but it will be back in September 2026 which will be our very special 100th show!

We also hold regular events throughout the year, including visits and talks. You can see more planned events here. 

You just missed this:

Our next event is a talk on 8th October (7.15 for 7.45 pm) at the Jubilee Pavilion by Helen Mugridge. Helen is originally from Long Ashton and is a keen naturalist, gardener and wildlife photographer. She’ll be talking about her life as a wildlife photographer, explaining the approach and techniques she uses to create her amazing images. We’ll hear about some of the challenges she encounters plus the patience necessary to secure a good result. The talk is open to members and non-members, admission charge on the door. Please email Mary to reserve your place and so she has an idea of numbers.

After that, there is another talk on 13th November under the title ‘Dig for Victory’.

 The Long Ashton Flower Show

The 99th Annual Show took place on Saturday 6th September 2025 in the Village Hall. We thank everyone who entered the various classes, our members who helped on the day (or with setting up the night before), those who baked the delicious home-made cakes served by our team of volunteers, and of course all who attended the show.

Here are just a few pictures from this year’s annual show.  See the full gallery of photos showing both some of the amazing entries and the brilliant prize-winners: click here. Maybe you could be one of the winners next year, so start planning your entry now!

The 2025 schedule and entry forms (PDF) can still be viewed here: Schedule, Entry Form.  Those will give you pretty good guide to next year, too.  Or explore this site further and follow the links to find out more about the Show and how to become a member of the Society.
