Since 2019 when the Crouch Valley Koi Section moved its open show to its venue at Buckhatch Nursery Garden Centre in Rettendon, Essex, (now Perrywoods, Buckhatch) it has grown from strength to strength with our 2025 show seeing almost 2000 people coming along over the two days and all the exhibitors and dealers expressing what a great weekend it was.

The CVKS show team have always felt a contributing factor to our success is the partnership with the garden centre and use of a great space that is under cover whilst allowing in mases of natural light. And of course, our show is FREE to the public.

So, if last year is anything to go by, we anticipate a great show given we have already had all the dealer pitches taken and we have all the following attending:

Akahana Koi

Aqua Aeration Systems

Burtons Aquatics

C&N Koi

Carp Co

Clearwater Koi

Koi Water Barn

Oi OI Koi

Norfine Nets

Nutramare

Yasu Koi

And with Koi Water Barn once again kindly agreeing to sponsor the major trophies, Donna from Donna’s Koi Art is already hard at work painting a set of Utsuri varieties for this year’s awards.

Pedigree Wholesale will also again be supply Saki Hikari Koi Food for winners of the majors, best in size and best in variety and we thank them form their continued support

 Please come along to support us and the koi show scene

Perrywood Buckhatch is open 9am – 5pm on the Saturday and 9.30am – 4pm on the Sunday with presentations at 2pm but please note, the show will start to close down around 3pm on the Sunday so exhibitors can remove their fish just after closing.
