The much-loved traditional event, cancelled owing to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, regularly attracts over 80,000 visitors to the Cheshire Showground in Tabley.

Competitors are invited to enter their prized animals in an array of competition classes, including cattle, sheep, goats and, of course, light and heavy horses. Competitions will be judged on uploaded photographs and videos by a panel of Show judges and winners will be revealed online on the days of the virtual event. The ground-breaking initiative will also enable the Show’s diverse trade stands to present their products and services to an online audience, allowing shoppers to browse and purchase unique...
