Come and bring the children, bring the grandparents and enjoy a day out with a difference!
The Horticulture section incorporates Horticulture, Floral Art, Cookery, Honey, Wine, Handicrafts, Art and Photography, as well as a large selection of horticulture trade-stands.
The Horticulture Marquee is at the very heart of Heckington Show. With an array of vegetables, floral displays, cakes and crafts, there is something for everyone. It provides a perfect opportunity for everyone to get involved and take part in this very traditional festival and to show just what they have produced over the year.

• Closing date for entries: No entries will be accepted after 9pm on Wednesday 21st July

There are over 30 different cups, bowls and trophies to be won in what is always a highly competitive atmosphere. Entries for most classes are open to all, with special sections for Heckington residents and members of Heckington Gardening Club.
