LATEST NEWS:
2009 SHOW
The 2009 show will be held on Saturday August 29th. This will be the first show since 2006 so please come along and give us your support.
The 2008 show was cancelled due to wet weather and the 2007 show was cancelled because of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Surrey.
Let's hope we have better luck in 2009!

If you are in the Lake District in summer come and sample a special country pursuit with a visit to the show. This is one of the few remaining genuinely traditional shows, now in its 106th year. Stay a while, relax amid the beauty of this lovely Lakeland dale and mingle with hill farmers and their families. Listen to ancient Cumbrian dialect whilst enjoying yourself at a leisurely pace for a few hours. Afterwards recollect the day with new - found contentment and a better understanding of country life.
We have kept the show to the original format and content and, having resisted commercialisation, are proud of our claim to be a genuinely traditional Lakeland event.
