Collection: The District Exhibits

An iconic feature of the Show since 1900, today the District Exhibits take the form of enormous pictorial displays made of fresh produce that highlight a message or theme. Michael Arnott was elected to the RAS Council in 1986 and he worked in District Exhibits and Wine. Here he talks about all the elaborate preparation that goes on behind the impressive display facades of the District Exhibits (edited extract from an interview with Vicki Hastrich in 2013).
