Gala Competitions
Do you fancy yourself a bit of green-fingered great, a bastion of baking, an arts and craft aficionado or a prolific photographer? Then it's time to enter one of our competitions!
Our competitions break down into various categories with competitions usually based around the gala's theme for the younger competitors. Winners for each competition will receive a rosette and a small prize for their entry.
How To Enter
All entries must be brought down to the competitions tent (located to the right of the park's main gate) when Gala opens at 1pm. Independent judging takes place at 2pm and trophies and rosettes will be revealed by 3pm. Prizes will then be officially awarded by our Gala Royalty during the gala day.
GOOD LUCK!
