The Marquees Are Going Up!!!

We are ready with a full action packed day for you. 

Jonathan Evans, Show Chairman, says “Life has become very difficult for many over the last couple of years. We think we are all ready for a bit of fun, and we’ve got a full, fun-packed day lined up ahead!” 

“Our team of volunteers have been working throughout the year putting the day together. Our theme for the day is Back to the Farm and this is reflected all around the field with lots of farming related attractions.” 

“We aim to provide a fun family day, at a reasonable cost. This is really important especially this year when everyone is having to tighten their belts. Many of our attractions are free.” 

Star Attractions 

There are two main ring attractions on the day: 

Bob Hogg and the Lamb National, and the sheepdog display sponsored by Miller Homes 

The BBC Countryfile programme also featured this great entertainment spectacle to the amusement of the presenters as they were allocated their own runners and riders. Bob uses the natural hardiness, agility and intelligence of the Herdwick sheep to negotiate the obstacles using one of his sheepdogs to herd them around the course. 

After being paraded in their own colours, they are introduced to the audience and then the fun starts. 

The second attraction is once again provided by Bob Hogg and his sheepdog and duck display.
