The community extravaganza is organised by a band of volunteers and raises funds for charities.
A spokesman for the show said: “Some 5,000 people flock to the show every year. Set in the rolling grounds of The Parks, Sugnall on the outskirts of the historic market town of Eccleshall, the show boasts a range of food, trade and charity stands as well as traditional country show competitions, attractions and entertainment throughout the day.
“A large equestrian section with show jumping, ridden and in-hand competitions together with a huge classic vehicles section attracting over 300 vehicles occupies one of the show’s three large fields.
“Main ring entertainment including a different headline act every year, the ‘have-a-go’ public dog agility competition, children’s sports and flyball keeps crowds entertained.”
The spokesman continued: “New for 2022 will be a poultry show – this was due to start in 2020 but Covid saw the cancellation of two shows.
“The Horticultural and Craft marquee champions people’s competitive spirits by identifying the best blooms, heaviest vegetables, champion crafts and, of course, as the hugely popular children’s competitions. An ‘enter on the day’ companion dog show with both pedigree and novelty classes identifies prize pooches whilst a farrier display, ferret display, brass band performances, Punch and Judy, donkey rides, children’s fun fair and static engines give a flavour of what else you can see.
“Be sure to treat your tummy to some of the freshly prepared, traditional refreshments served in the WI Refreshments marquee and also check out the range of food stands in our fresh food area and shopping marquee.”
