Uckfield Town Council is delighted to announce the return of the Uckfield Allotment Competition, sponsored by Staverton’s Nursery, for 2026.
After a year of change in 2025, with new categories added, we have retained the same categories for this year.
Judging will take place during the third week of July, and winners will be notified shortly after judging.
Prizes will be awarded at the Allotment Conference on Wednesday 9 September 2026.
What categories are included this year?
We have followed the precedent set by the 2025 Allotment Competition with this year’s categories, which are the following:
- Children’s Award
- Ecological Award
- Most Improvement Allotment

How does entry work?
All active allotment holders are automatically entered into the following categories:
- Ecological Award
- Most Improved Allotment
- Best Newcomer
- Best Kept Allotment
- Overall Winner
Meanwhile, entries to the Children’s Award must be made by nomination.
