Around the showground

Take a step back in time and watch this fantastic collection of prized vintage machinery that have been restored to their full glory to represent the history of farming from the demise of the Heavy horses through to the modern day. Robert & Felicity Archer have been organising this impressive display for over 20 years. The static display can be found opposite Avenue J

The Cattle Parade is the highlight for many visitors. This is a wonderful opportunity to see many of the spectacular animals that have been in the judging rings during the morning. Exhibitors bring their livestock from all over the country to compete for the Best in Show. The Champion of each section will be presented with their trophies by this year’s Society President, Andrew Large.

A visit to the Village Green area is like stepping back in time with craft exhibitors keeping old traditions alive, such as willow work, basket making and hand-crafted walking sticks.

NEW! to the Village Green:

• Country Girl Pottery - unique handmade ceramics

• Hazell Forged Blacksmith - traditionally forged ironwork
