2008 SHOW CANCELLED

Because of the continuing wet weather we are very sorry to announce that we have been forced to cancel this year's show due to be held on Saturday 23rd August 2008.

Unfortunately, this is the second year in a row that we have been unable to hold the Patterdale Dog Day after 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!

Patterdale Dog Day

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 106^th 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.
