The show took place on Saturday, June 22 at Sewards End Village Hall, with exhibitors showing more than 90 exhibits despite the wet spring and cold weather at the start of June.

The society was first established in 1819, and the president was the Right Honourable Lord Braybrooke.
A summer fete was held intermittently during the 19th century, with large annual shows from 1883.
The society disbanded in 1901 due to financial difficulties, but was revived in 1922.
