A Worcester Show Trophy will be awarded to the winner of the Giant Vegetables class section.

Please note the Giant Vegetable Section will be staged and judged on Saturday 9th August.

Section Rules

Please read section rules very carefully. Failure to comply may lead to disqualification.

  • All exhibits must be the property of, and cultivated by, the exhibitor.
  • All giant vegetables will be weighted and measured on the day.
  • Display the name of the variety of the exhibit; if the variety is unknown then the exhibit should be marked “unknown”.
  • Vegetables in this section must be longer / larger than your entries in Section 3.
  • An exhibitor may only enter one exhibit per class.

Judging

Judges will look for meritorious and defective features. The Worcester Show aims to encourage the competitive spirit amongst amateurs. Therefore the ‘professional’ judging using a points system will not be used but Judges can refer to the ‘RHS Horticultural Show Handbook’ guide to organising, judging and competing in a show’.
