Acres of fun – hopefully in the sun

The Royal Cheshire County Show, celebrating its 186th anniversary this year, is one of the oldest and most popular agricultural shows in the UK.

And, despite the current spate of bad weather, the forecasts for Tuesday and Wednesday are looking really good – possibly even wall-to-wall sunshine!

As in years past, everything will be ready to welcome you on Tuesday 18^th and Wednesday 19^th June – and if you use the code SHOW20 when buying your tickets online you’ll even enjoy a 20% discount on your ticket price!

From livestock and elite equestrian competitions, jousting from the Knights of Nottingham, cooking with eight celebrity chefs and hundreds of food, drink and craft stalls, the Royal Cheshire County Show will be offering something for everyone!

Have a wander through the Cheshire Farmers Market where you’ll find hundreds of stalls to tempt. Children will love interacting with the many animals – including giant tortoises and alpacas – the fairground and complimentary face painting!

The Food Live Theatre will feature no less than eight celebrity chefs, including Jean-Christophe Novelli and Shelina Permalloo.

“I’m very chuffed to be back at the Royal Cheshire County Show, I love it, it’s fantastic. There’s so much to do” said Jean-Christophe Novelli.

This year, following on from their success on Cooking with the Stars, Samia Longchambon (Maria from Coronation Street) will be joining Jean-Christophe on stage. Head over to the Roberts Bakery Food Live Theatre to see and enjoy a culinary tour de force!

Tuesday evening, from 5 pm–10 pm, the show will present Late at The Show – featuring Boyzlife, Housejammerz and Babalola JR with Happy Radio’s Darren Proctor hosting the event. 

Enjoy the concert, have a bite to eat or a drink from one of the many artisan stalls, or bring a picnic.
