It’s Showtime (virtually!)

Microschedule Press Release – May 2020

As you will know from previous press releases Mirfield Agricultural Show 2020 has been cancelled. The usual Show as you know and love will not happen, but it doesn’t mean an end to the competitions – we are moving online with the publication of a micro-schedule of 12 competitions to enter.

Louise Hardy, Head of Competitions in the Show committee says “Mirfield people are a competitive lot. And a very creative bunch too! We know this from the huge numbers of entries we get on a regular Show day. So we decided that, although we can’t have a real show, we would move the competitions online and have a smaller scale, virtual Show.”

She adds “We are excited to try out this new way of doing things. We have included a new class, not seen on our regular Show day and that is a Cat Show. We are inviting entries of photos of pet cats for judging. We know that people love their cats so we have high hopes for this competition.”

Head of Marketing Joseph Kelly says “Information will go on the website (www.mirfieldshow.com) detailing the different classes with their last submission date, and the judging date. It will also be shared on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).

Chairman of the Show committee Jonathan Evans said “We were all very disappointed to have to take the decision to cancel the 2020 Show. But our committee is full of creative and “can do” people and we have come up with this great plan to keep the Show alive in 2020.”
