Heaviest gooseberry

The heaviest gooseberry was grown by Graeme Watson (UK) and weighed 65.59 grams (2.31 ounces) when presented at the Egton Bridge Gooseberry Show in Egton Bridge, North Yorkshire, UK, on 5 August 2025.

The giant gooseberry (of the yellow "Millennium" variety) was initially assessed using the society's traditional Avoirdupois system, which logged a weight of 36 drams 24 grains. Converted, this equated to 65.34 g (2.30 oz). However, a secondary measurement taken on a set of digital scales, which can provide a more precise reading, wielded a slightly greater weight of 65.59 g (2.31 oz); this latter weight was the measurement accepted for the record.

This betters the previous record-breaking gooseberry, also a Millennium type grown by Watson, which weighed 64.83 grams (2.28 ounces), as ratified six years ago at the Egton Bridge Gooseberry Show on 6 August 2019.

The Egton Bridge Old Gooseberry Society has been in operation since at least 1800, making it the longest-running such organization in the world, and one of the oldest of any continually operating societies in the UK. 2025 marked the show's 224th edition.
