Become a Show Steward
Show Stewards play an important role in the success of the Horsham Show. Working alongside judges, exhibitors and competitors, stewards help ensure competitions and exhibits run smoothly while maintaining the high standards and traditions that have been part of agricultural shows for generations.
From arts, crafts, cooking and photography to horticulture, livestock and feature competitions, stewards assist with organising entries, preparing exhibits, supporting judges and helping exhibitors throughout the event.
This is a rewarding opportunity to learn more about a competition area, meet like-minded people and contribute to an important community tradition. No previous experience is necessary, with guidance and support provided by experienced volunteers and committee members.
Whether you have a passion for agriculture, arts and crafts, photography, gardening, cooking or simply enjoy being part of a community event, we’d love to welcome you as part of the Horsham Show Steward team.
Help preserve the traditions of the Horsham Show while supporting the next generation of exhibitors and competitors.
