CANNA UK NATIONAL GIANT VEGETABLES CHAMPIONSHIP 2023

Size does matter in the Canna UK National Giant Vegetables Championship. A firm favourite each year, you won’t believe your eyes at the size of the fruit and vegetables on display.

Enter a world of monstrous legumes, larger than life fruits and hefty roots. Rivalry between the 110 competitors is always fierce with super-sized and often record breaking celery, leek, parsnip and cabbages.

Junior growers who have also caught the bug take part in classes for giant sunflower heads.

Visitors interested in finding more about how to grow sizable vegetables are advised to stop by CANNA and chat to their knowledgeable team, you will find them in the Giant Vegetables marquee.
