The Tysoe Flower Show & Fete attracts thousands of people from far and wide. Each year it evolves, becoming bigger and better, with more & more attractions. We have now spread over two fields, such is the scale of the show.

This traditional village fete has been running on and off since at least 1886 under different guises. But the one we all know and love today was resurrected in 1962 by Canon C T Bernard McNulty, Founder of the Village Hall, and was held firstly at Tysoe Primary School.

It's unsure when the transition was made to the playing fields, but it has definitely been located there since 1980 and has been held on the 3rd Saturday of August, only missing the Covid 19 years of 2020 & 2021. 

There is a different main ring attraction each year with many side attractions including Morris Dancers, a dog display team, a dog show for members of the public to enter their beloved furry family member, sheep and alpacas, as well as vintage cars and tractors. There is music, fairground rides, children’s entertainment and of course plenty of food & drink stalls catering for a wide variety of tastes.

Show aims and beneficiaries

The Tysoe Flower Show Committee endeavours to give you a great, fun day out for the whole family. Certain factors influence the amount of profit that is made, the weather being the main contributing element. After allocating reserves for future infrastructure, for example gazebos and tables, we are then able to distribute any remaining profit to the various charities, clubs and societies in Tysoe.

Any organisation is welcome to apply for a donation by emailing tysoeflowershow@gmail.com to be considered for next year's profits. Occasionally we decide to support an organisation outside of the village if there is benefit to Tysoe residents.

The committee looks favourably on those applicants that are able to assist with the physical work of setting up the show on the Friday and/or on show day packing away, this is usually between 4.30pm and 7.00pm
