Other entertainment can found at the showground, such as ukulele-playing by the Pompey Pluckers, Valley Alder Brass, demonstrations of football and karate and displays of dancing by Fishbourne Mill Morris and Melana Dance School.

There will be a variety of stalls, refreshments and sideshows, a dog show, a fur and feather marquee, vintage cars and cycles, plus activities for children.

The core of the show is the marquee, where the vegetable, flower, fruit, photography, domestic and handicraft exhibits are brought together.

The event is at Jubilee Recreation Ground, Horndean Road, and will run from 10am to 5.30pm.
