Devon County Show 2017 Remembers: Help needed

As the centenary of the First World War continues, the Craft and Garden Marquee at Devon County Show 2017  is creating a carpet of  handmade poppies as a tribute to the 11,000 Devon  men and women who lost their lives in the First World War.    

We would like your help to achieve this project.

The hand crafted poppies can  be knitted, crocheted, made from  lace, felt, wood  – anything other than paper. 

Anyone can contribute a poppy and they should be sent to Hayne House, Silverton, Exeter EX5 4HE where they will be stored prior to being “planted” in the entrance hall of the Craft and Garden Marquee in May 2017.
