108th agricultural show to shine at Newby Hall this weekend
The 108th Aldborough & Boroughbridge Agricultural Show is set to shine at Newby Hall this weekend.
The hugely popular event – which organisers describe as ‘the small show with the big personality’ – showcases the best of Yorkshire produce, crafts and livestock as well as farming and the countryside.
The show will take place on Sunday (23rd July).This year the show has been working with the Boroughbridge Chamber of Trade, encouraging local businesses to highlight what the area has to offer to the community and visitors.
Opening at 10am, the show provides a host of popular attractions including competitive classes in baking, horticulture, flower arranging and handicrafts.
There are also equine classes including Shetland ponies, heavy horse driving and donkeys. Cattle, sheep and fleece classes always draw the crowds.
Catherine Park Peyton, chair of the Aldborough & Boroughbridge Agricultural Show, said:
“After a fabulous return last year, we continue to be one of the largest community events in the area, providing a wonderfully warm space for people to come and enjoy themselves.
“Thanks to the hard work of our show committee and volunteers, we continue to showcase the importance of agricultural and rural businesses to the local economy.
“We love being at Newby Hall and are grateful to the team there and the Compton Family for their support. We are looking forward to a great day out for all the family.”
Other attractions which will feature are family races, terrier racing and children’s mounted and unmounted fancy dress.
There will be a hay-making demonstration, vintage vehicle display and the Northern Shetland Pony racing team will be in action.
Trade stands, a craft tent and cream teas are also available, making the show a great family day out. Tickets include admission to Newby Hall gardens and the adventure playground.
Stuart Gill, commercial director at Newby Hall, said:
“The Aldborough & Boroughbridge Show is one of the highlights in our events calendar, never failing to please exhibitors and visitors alike with its agricultural and rural themes.”
