The Headstone Village Show is an annual community event that takes place in London's Borough of Harrow at the grounds of Headstone Manor and Museum. This year marks the Diamond Anniversary or 60 years. The show this year, which started in the 1960s, has a special 1960s theme, and there are a couple of games, a small market, and community stalls. There is also a stage with live music, workshops, and more. A horticultural and craft show (or fair) is located in the barn, and the manor and museum is also open to visitors. There was a fee to get into the grounds where the event was taking place.
I explored the grounds and had a browse around the markets.
I also went into the great barn and had a look at the horticultural and baking displays, fruit and vegetables, and art and photography.
There was a lot of honey on display with local beekeepers.
There was a stage with entertainment and music, but they were having a break. The weather was very warm.
Some of the vendors that go to Duck Pond Market were also there.
There were about five food "trucks", but I would have liked more variety as it was not enough. There was one selling chicken, which I had. There was another selling doughnuts and crepes and one selling hot drinks.
For the 1960s theme, some people were dressed as gnomes and dancing to 1960s music.
I had chicken strips breaded with sweet chili sauce.
With the glorious weather, which is rare on a Bank Holiday Monday, a lot of people were at the event.
