Shawhead Show 25 – letter of thanks

This great Irongray community event was held in Shawhead Village Hall on Saturday 23rd August 2025.

Many categories of handicraft, kitchen, garden, glasshouse and windowsill produce all jostled magnificently to catch the Judges attention! And the popular recent addition of plants, fruits and preserves Sales Tables also saw brisk trade

It was a friendly, happy and well attended event attracting great entries… and resulting in some surprises! Checkout the  letter of thanks, linked below…

Many thanks to our organisers and helpers on the day. But not to forget our all-important sponsors – local businesses and private individuals – whose generosity is such an essential element for the Shows continuing success.
