Royal Cheshire County Show – five days to go!

Just five more days to go before the show opens!

For more than 175 years, the Cheshire show has been the premier summertime agricultural event in the North West of England.

In 2016 an exciting milestone was reached when the honour of ‘Royal’ status was bestowed on the show by the Cabinet Office. The 2016 event saw the inauguration of the newly titled, Royal Cheshire County Show and provided a fun-packed, memorable occasion for visitors, competitors and exhibitors alike.

With its roots firmly embedded in farming, the 2017 show will, again hold the many competition classes for cattle, sheep, pigs and dairy goats, but will also include hundreds of classes for light and heavy horses, show jumping, rare breeds of livestock, poultry, pygmy goats, pigeons, cavies, rabbits and dog show.

The Delamere Dairy Main Ring will be packed with entertainment from the fast and furious pony club games, to majestic birds of prey and of course the spectacular Grand Parade of Champions.

2017 also sees a brand new Delamere Dairy Main Ring Attraction – The Four Seasons of Farming. During this unique display spectators will be taken on a journey through the farming calendar – introducing them to the giants of modern farming technology, from ploughs to combines.

Not to miss this year are celebrity chefs Jean-Christophe Novelli and Great British Bakeoff finalist Luis Troyano – who will be making special guest appearances on the stage of the Roberts Bakery Food Live theatre throughout the show.

If you want to experience and celebrate all that is great and good about the countryside then The Royal Cheshire County Show is the only place to be as it brings together the many interesting and fascinating aspects of farming and rural life in the beautiful and unique county of Cheshire.

Hope to see you there!

Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st June 2017
