Every year a wonderful house in the pretty village of Chipstead in Surrey opens its grounds to allow the local flower show and fun run to take place.
This is always a favourite for our family as it feels like a step back in time with a traditional brass band, coconut shys, cream teas and Pimms tent.
We took a wonder around the gardens of the owners grand home and had a look at his collection of exquisite classic cars that number four wanted to have a drive in!
Next stop was a jump around on the bouncy castle, trying our hand at the tombola, a successful throw on the coconut shy and some cupcake making.
We had a pit stop and endulged in a scrummy cream tea whist listening to the fabulous brass band.
It really feels like you are on the set of something like the ‘Darling Buds Of May’.
There are lots of games and shows put on in the centre of the main field and plenty of stalls selling lovingly handcrafted goods, flowers and lots of yummy food.
We saved the show tent until last and left the little ones outside with my Dad so I could have a good look around without the worry of one of them destroying someone’s entry that they would have put so much time and effort into.
My Mum was a keen flower arranger many years ago and I am really getting into photography do next year we are thinking about entering ourselves!!
Reminds me of our village flower show. I’m yet to enter anything, but the children have in the past. Makes for a great day out. I’d love to wander through the exhibition tent. #CountryKids
Do it!! I’m going to brush up on my photography and enter next year.
I love the exhibition tent with all the lovely cakes and flower displays x
This looks like such a lovely family day out! I can’t wait to do things like this when Arjun’s a little older! 🙂 Thanks for linking up to #babybrainmonday xx
Its so lovely to go out and have days that you can think back in in years to come X
This is an amazing event! I always love seeing blooms. This is a perfect family event as theres always something for everyone to see and do! #countrykids
Your so right, everyone has something that they could look at or join I with. And we all love a cream tea! X
I love the look of this, at first I thought perhaps you were at the Hampton court Flower show! gorgeous photos and lovely flowers, I hope you will both enter next year! I just have to make some sheep cupcakes! Thank you for sharing with me on Country Kids
The cupcakes were such a lovely idea and I had never thought to do those before.
It is my aim to enter something next year and I really hope Mum does too x
