Our usual show classes remain available, alongside flowers, baking, photography, crafts and children’s entries.
Entries close Sunday 30 August 2026.

Support This Year’s Annual Show
Our Annual Allotment Show is a volunteer-run community event, and we are pleased to keep it free for visitors and exhibitors.
Although we are very grateful to have received support from generous sponsors, there are still costs involved in putting on the show, including car park hire, rosettes, prizes and other essentials.
For anyone who would like to help, we have created a GoFundMe page where optional donations can be made towards the running costs of the event.
Any support, whether through a donation, sharing the page, donating tombola prizes or simply coming along on the day, is greatly appreciated.

Why Join The Stevenage Gardens & Allotment Association?
Joining your local allotment association, like the Stevenage Gardens and Allotments Association (SGAA), offers a range of benefits beyond just having a space to grow your fruit, vegetables, and flowers.
We work closely with Stevenage Borough Council (SBC) to ensure allotments are well-maintained, accessible, and fairly managed.
Access to Expert Knowledge & Advice
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, allotment associations provide valuable soil management, crop rotation, pest control, and seasonal planting guidance. You’ll benefit from the collective wisdom of fellow growers who can help you get the most out of your plot.
Community & Friendship
Allotment gardening isn’t just about growing plants; it’s about growing friendships. Joining an association means joining a welcoming community of like-minded people who share a passion for gardening. There are always opportunities to chat with fellow plot holders, swap produce, and exchange gardening tips.
Discounts & Exclusive Deals
We offer discounts on seeds, plants, compost, and gardening equipment. These savings can quickly add up, making your gardening efforts more affordable.
