Welcome to the Schedule for the 21st Harrow in LEAF Show at the 2026 Headstone Village Show.

Hopefully, this year's weather will mean a productive year on our allotments and in our gardens and maybe a look in this schedule will encourage you to think about entering what you have grown. However, if that doesn't appeal to you there are lots of classes for showing off your skills in areas such as art, craft, wine-making and baking.

The entries to the Harrow in LEAF show will once again be displayed in the beautiful and historic Great Barn at Headstone Manor. Our show is part of a long tradition of produce competitions which reflects Harrow's agricultural past.

This year is Harrow Museum's Ruby Anniversary. As it was founded in 1986, there will be an Eighties theme to the whole show. It is also the 21st anniversary of the Harrow in LEAF show, something traditionally celebrated as "The Key to the Door". And this Lunar Year is "The Year of the Horse", so you will see some of our classes reflect these themes.

Do have a think about what classes you and your friends and family would like to enter, you don't have to grow the biggest vegetables or the most perfect flowers, every entry helps make the show. Exhibitors get free admission so it's definitely a great way to be part of this special event.

Don't be afraid of showing - just have a go!

Our own 2 page "Guide to Showing" gives a lot of hints and advice.
