Eckford Sweet Pea Show

18th & 19th July 2009

The SWEET PEA SHOW is held in WEM, North Shropshire each year in July, to celebrate the close association the town has with sweet peas, which all started over 100 years ago.

The link dates back in fact to 1888 when the world famous hybridist HENRY ECKFORD moved to Wem to continue his work with Sweet Peas and to start what was to become a seeds business famous throughout the world.

A special feature of the show, is the section for Old Fashioned Sweet Peas, most of them raised in Victorian Times by Henry Eckford V.M.H., with seeds available by post or from the society.

Within the show, will be a raffle, refreshments, demonstrations and trade stands, many of them offering a wide variety of goods, and a willing panel of experts waiting to advise on growing Sweet Pea. 

The Eckford Sweet Pea Society, for its 21st Anniversary, is delighted to be joined by the NATIONAL Sweet Pea Society with its Late Show, in a combined show, in Wem, North Shropshire, on Saturday and Sunday the 18th and 19th of July 2009.   The Show will open at 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on both days,  Admission £2.  Children Free.  Only disabled parking on site.   All areas wheelchair accessible.   All amenities on site.
