The Fourth Annual

10am – 3pm

The Maidenhead Amphitheatre, Library, & Town Hall Lawn

St. Ives Road, Maidenhead

The Maidenhead Show brings elements of a Country Show to the town, and celebrates local creativity of all sorts. This is the fourth annual show, and this year it’s being held in the new location around Maidenhead Library and the Amphitheatre - where you’ll be able to enjoy food and drink while listening to some of our local singers or watching our fun dog show later in the afternoon, and the lawns in front of the Town Hall - where you’ll find craft stalls and our judging tent. The Show is organised by Craft Coop and volunteers from Maidenhead, and our judges and sponsors are local businesses. If you’d like to help organise or sponsor the Show next year, please do get in touch with Craft Coop. We’d love to have you join in supporting this great community event!
