Domestic
The
Domestic Marquee is a vibrant community with visitors discussing the
merits and demerits of the various exhibits and, of course, making their
comments on the judges' remarks! Naturally you can just browse the items
and see the skills that those that enter possess and clearly demonstrate
in the high qualities of their entries. Sometimes you have to restrain
yourself as, unfortunately, you can't taste the cookery and wine
entries.
In recent years,
the Domestic Section, which was formed in 1934 on the occasion of the
Show's 100th anniversary, has had around
1500 items on display, including Wine, Cookery, Preserves,
Needlework, Handicrafts, Art and Photography and Children's Classes.
Local schools participate in special classes and it is always pleasing to see the efforts which they, and their teachers, put into their entries.
Women's Institutes enter combined entries for each Institute and these classes are always hotly contested.
