Sedgley Garden Club Flower Show – Saturday 16th August 2025
The Black Country Woodturners were once again delighted to be invited to take part in the Sedgley Garden Club’s annual Flower Show. Held at the Sedgley Community Centre, the event proved to be another fantastic day for the local community.
Our members set up a display of turned pieces for sale, which attracted plenty of interest from visitors throughout the day. As always, it was a pleasure to share our passion for woodturning with both familiar faces and those discovering the craft for the first time.
The show was a great success, raising an impressive amount of money in support of Mary Stevens Hospice, our chosen charity. We are proud to have played a small part in supporting such a worthy cause.
A big thank-you goes to Sedgley Garden Club for inviting us again this year, and to all of our members who helped make the day so enjoyable.

Come As You Really Are showcases hundreds of objects created or collected by hobbyists from across the Midlands and beyond. Alongside a brand-new film by Patel, the exhibition celebrates the creativity and individuality of people who dedicate their valuable time to pursuing passions outside of consumer-driven culture.
On display are unique handcrafted works loaned by hobbyists in diverse disciplines: knitters and needleworkers, woodturners and model makers, potters, painters and illustrators, costume and cosplay creators, model engineers, origami artists, and many more. You’ll also find fascinating collections – from vintage football programmes, kitchenalia, milk bottles, painted eggs, gnomes, and stones, to comics, action figures, and toys including Goo Jit Zu, Transformers, He-Man, and dollhouses!
