The event is being staged at The Grand on the Saturday between 2pm and 6pm with a trophy presentation at 4.30pm and is open all day on Sunday between 10am and 5pm.

Admission is £1. Plants and flowers will be for sale and there will also be a tombola and raffle held in aid of the Pilgrim's Hospice at Ashford.
