Early Bird Family Tickets £40 roots, the show continues to evolve to provide a great day out for everyone. The Food and Entertainment village will serve up a varied range of food and drink, with live entertainment throughout the afternoon and early evening –keep an eye on our website for the list of acts.

Of course, the traditional agricultural aspects are still very much at the heart of Skelton show as Chairman Colin Atkinson comments “in addition to the large selection of cattle, horses, dogs and sheep, there is a marquee full of classes for children, cooking, painting, floral arts, vegetables and walking sticks. The extensive @TasteSkelton Food and Gifts and Crafts tents provide a wide range of local produce to taste and purchase whilst other attractions include the Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling competition, pony sports and numerous trade stands”.

Concluding, Show Director John Slee remarks “we have an action-packed day planned to provide great entertainment and enjoyment; in the main ring the entertainment will feature the fearless and amazing On the Edge motorcycle stunt team.

As a complete contrast with a calmer and more elegant event will be the Concours d’Elegance equestrian display. Other attractions include the popular Scurry Racing, Ullswater Community College Cheerleaders as well as the fun Terrier Racing spectacles. To host such a major event, we rely upon an army of volunteers and I’d like to thank all those who have agreed to assist us this year - all of whom will help ensure we host a great show day.”

Finally, an exciting new addition to the usual show event will be a ‘Sunday Funday’ from 1pm on Sunday 2nd July on the showfield. This aims to provide a family atmosphere with bands, street food, darts and tug-of-war competition as well as the fun fair and games for the kids. Entry will be just £5 per person with children free (if accompanied by an adult).

NOTE: There are Early Bird offers for tickets purchased online via our website www. skeltonshow.com during May and early June and Sunday Funday tickets are also available online.
