A DAZZLING display of the brightest and best blooms is promised at one of Teesside's top horticultural shows later this month.
Chrysanthemums, carnations, fuchsias, dahlias, gladioli and sweet peas, as well as vegetables, will be among a host of prize produce on display at the annual Hartlepool Horticultural Show.
The event will be held at the Borough Hall on Hartlepool's Headland on Saturday, August 21, from 12.30pm to 5pm and on Sunday, August 22, from 11am to 4pm. Admission is free.
The show features hundreds of prize exhibits from top growers from around the north and further afield.
This year's event also includes the British Gladiolus Society's Northern Exhibition, displays of floral art by Hartlepool and District Flower Club, and an exhibition of the winning entries from the local heat of this year's Northumbria in Bloom calendar painting competition.
There will be a plant sale on both days featuring stock grown by Hartlepool Borough Council's Stranton Nurseries, and on the Sunday there will be a sale of surplus prize produce from the show.
