From ferrets, hunt displays, bird of prey, sheep dog displays, sheep shearing, farrier and a mini zoo. Over 130 trade stands across the show, from arts and crafts, jewellery, homewares, through to artisan breads and pies in our indoor trade marquee and clothing stalls, garden furniture, plants and local club stands and not forgetting agricultural machinery and tractor stands outside. From around the country, cattle & sheep exhibitors prepare and show their prizewinning livestock to the public and judges attracting around 100 head of cattle and over 250 head of sheep over 25 breeds. With classes for all abilities the equine area is bustling with activity for all horse enthusiasts.
