ALLOTMENT CALENDAR 2026
Following the success of last year’s calendar, members were invited to paint fruit and flowers for the Allotment’s next calendar. There were 67 entries in total. A big thank you to Ilona, an Allotment Committee Member and a member of the Halifax Art Society for all her hard work and time in arranging and coordinating this.
Visitors and Allotment Committee members attended the Allotment Show on Saturday 16th August 2025 and they voted for their favourite painting. We are pleased to announce that one of Carrie’s paintings of Hellebores was voted the favourite – see picture and photo below, well done!
Votes for other paintings tied equally over the next 5 places – details to be given later.
A photo of all 67 entries are shown below.
