With it being #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek all of us at Mirfield Show wanted to give a gentle reminder that it’s good to talk and look after yourself!

Good afternoon SPROUTS!! Wow!!! Your lucky potions are working because the marigolds are looking amazing!! Call to Westfields when you can to check on your seeds and and remember to keep watering yours at the home and send some pictures! 1X 🌱🌻

Tonight we have various meetings for show planning, including Marketing & Bookings. Without these two teams, you wouldn't know about the show or have anything to see on the field! We are looking for volunteers and committee members! Get in touch or email volunteers@mirfieldshow.com

🌱🌾🌿🌻Good morning MIRFIELD SHOW SPROUTS!! It's the weekend! With lots of sunshine and showers forecast, it's a great time for planting and growing. Westfields Nursery is open so don't forget to pop in and check your seeds!🌱🌾🌿🌻 Here's some handy advice for your plants. 🌻🌿🌾🌱Advice for looking after your sunflower:🌱🌾🌿🌻 Keep them inside till you have a stem with 4 leaves on. These will be sets of 2. The pot is deep enough to keep them in there until you can see the roots coming out of the bottom. This will create less damage to the roots when you repot/plant out the seeds. Once the weather gets a little better and you have a strong stem with roots showing they can either go in a bigger pot or straight into the ground. Then just keep It watered and it will do the rest. Watering tips: Look at the soil daily. If it looks a little dry give them some water. I put my tubs on a plate with an absorbent paper towel underneath the pot so any excess water from the soil will run through and sit in the paper towel. The seed Will start pulling water up from the bottom which will make stronger roots. I keep the paper towel wet. Keep us posted with your pictures, from Tabitha (Chief Sprout Officer) 🌱🌾🌿🌻

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners of My Mirfield’s Community Awards! Mirfield should be proud!

Nancy Hey. “Today the Mirfield community paid tribute to one of our most respected residents, Nancy Hey, who recently passed away. She was a local business woman and keen volunteer for many years on the Mirfield Agricultural Show committee. Nancy, along with her late husband Ken, was involved with Mirfield Show from the very beginning. They were both key people in the development of the popular one day Mirfield event. Whilst Ken looked after the Flower and Vegetable competitions, Nancy was in charge of Stall bookings and the Craft stall bookings. And, as important committee members, they were also involved in the many decisions that need to be taken to host such an event. Although Nancy and Ken retired from the organising committee some time ago, the foundations laid down by them in the past are still with us today. Their legacy lives on. Our thoughts are with Nancy’s family at this time.” -Karen Bullivant, Committee member and past Chairman.

Good luck to all the finalists!

Last Chance! Voting closes today! If you haven’t already - community event of the year! We couldn’t do what we do without your support!
