FLOWER SHOW
Traditional Fruit and Flower Show
Held in Brailes Orchard on the last Saturday in August every year (the Bank Holiday weekend), a highlight of the social calendar. It has been held in the village for more than 75 years.
A traditional marquee houses the floral, vegetable, culinary exhibits as well as wine, beer, cider and plum jerkum, photography and arts and crafts. They are all entered into their own classes and prizes awarded.
Lots to do with an array of stalls to browse around and traditional family entertainments such as treasure hunt, skittles, coconut shy, bottle casino, tombola and a novelty dog show.
Highlights are the egg-throwing and plank plodding competitions, as well as village teas and the famous village bar.
It's the main village fund raiser for the village hall, church and other village groups.
Village Hall
Great Comberton Village Hall, the former village school, is available for hire on a one-off basis or for regular hire.
We would be pleased to welcome you and share this wonderful facility for a party, social event, club, classes and groups who want a place to meet up. The Hall has a PPL PRS Music Licence and we ask that any music finishes by 11.30pm and is played not too loudly out of respect for the neighbours.
