Damerham's Summer Fair showcased an annual vegetable, flower, and produce show lead by a village society.

Damerham and District Horticultural Society Summer Show took place on Saturday, July 27, in the Main Marquee as part of Damerham Fair.  

The months preceding the Show had been difficult for gardeners, due to cool and wet conditions, but there was a large and high quality entry with some one hundred plus exhibitors entering seven hundred exhibits across a range of classes.

Along with cups won by “old hands”, a number of recently joined members featured as winners.
