Egton Bridge Gooseberry Show

Do you love gooseberries or grow gooseberries? If so then the Egton Bridge Gooseberry Show is the show for you!

Egton Bridge Gooseberry Show will be held on Tuesday 4th August 2009 from 2pm. The event takes place in Egton Bridge which is near Whitby in the North York Moors National Park.

This is the oldest surviving gooseberry show in the country, established in 1800.

The show looks to find the heaviest gooseberry and past winners have weighed in at 33 drams which I believe is approximately 2 oz. There are four classes of gooseberries that gardeners can enter the gooseberries in: red gooseberries, yellow ones, greens and white ones.

So if you fancy viewing prize winning gooseberries then why not make Valley View Farm self catering cottages your base.
