Wem Sweet Pea Show is a weekend long celebration of the delicate and beautifully perfumed flowers that are Sweet Peas. Wem is synonymous with Sweet peas thanks to one Henry Eckford, a horticulturist originally from Scotland who then settled in Wem in the 1800’s. Henry worked steadfastly to cultivate new varieties of Sweet Peas and by the end of his lifetime he had created more than 200 different varieties of Sweet Pea and he is deservedly referred to as ‘The Father of the Sweet Pea.’Wem’s Sweet Pea Show, in particular, celebrates the Old Fashioned Sweet Pea varieties and devotes an entire class division to Old Fashioned pre 1910 blooms.
Adults £3 or £5 for both days. Children FREE
