East Midlands in Bloom Judges visit the town and are treated to lunch afterwards at the Cricket Club. Last year Uppingham was the Gold winner in the East Midlands in Bloom competition and judging day for this year’s competition is on Thursday July 9th. A very dedicated band of volunteers has been out every week weeding and planting and sprucing up the town. If your house is on the judging route you may have received a notification asking for you to do your bit to help the town retain the trophy.

This year Uppingham is also a finalist in the National competition, judging for which takes place on Tuesday 11th August. Uppingham in Bloom welcomes any and all support.
