The GCAA Annual Show

​By far our biggest and most important event of the year, this is always held on the first Sunday in September - it's a lot of fun, a celebration of our allotment community, and is always well attended. Plot holders exhibit their fruits, vegetables, and flowers, in various categories, as well as their home-made jams, jellies, pickles, and often elaborately decorated cakes, all of which are judged by local experts. We welcome all plot holders, but particularly novice growers.

Plots are also judged for their quality, variety, and biodiversity, and guided tours of the site are given on the day. The climax of the Show is the Awards Ceremony (and the Raffle!). 

Our Allotment Café serves an amazing array of home-made savouries, salads and bakes, and hot and cold drinks, all provided by a small army of volunteers who keep it going throughout: serving, replenishing supplies, and of course, washing-up!

In conjunction with our Show, the National Gardens Scheme (NGS) charity hosts one of its Open Days, bringing us many visitors from all over London and the surrounding counties, and adding to the crowd of neighbours who visit with their families every year.
