The story of........

Since 1999, this event has steadily grown from 2 gazebo's to 50 exhibits in 2007.
The aim of the event is to promote Kinson Common and show why it is such an important asset to the community being situated within an urban environment.





Many wildlife conservation groups support us by attending and there is also a strong community input with groups such as the Kinson Townswomen's Guild and Brook Road Allotment Society.
A "Scruffs" fun dog show in aid of the PDSA is now a popular part of the event and attracts many visiting dog owners.

The following are some of those who have supported us

A group with very close links to ourselves.
