PENRITH SHOW
Brougham Hall Farm, Penrith, Cumbria, CA10 2DE.
We are Looking forward to seeing you: 15th July 2023
A FUN FARMING & FAMILY DAY OUT – SEE YOU AT THE SHOW
What a great show in 2022, we look forward to seeing everyone in 2023
The Penrith Agricultural Society was formed in 1833 with the Society promoting the first Penrith Show the following year. This took place on Friday, 26th September, the venue being a field adjoining Croft House, Penrith. Since then the Society has grown in size and prominence now operating from its current site at Brougham Hall Farm, (by kind permission of the Mr CTA Helme) on the third Saturday in July each year, with the 2022 show being on 16th July.
The Society’s aim is to promote the good of agriculture and livestock breeding in and around Penrith, to promote British Food & Farming in general and the drawing together of town and country for their mutual benefit.
Whilst retaining the tradition of a genuine agricultural emphasis, the show has gathered much momentum in recent years. Agricultural shows have always been special occasions enabling rural and urban communities to come together in competition in a wide spectrum of classes for farm livestock, arable, horses, rabbits, poultry, show jumping, industrial and horticulture.
Trade stands make an invaluable contribution to the essential atmosphere at the show. The food hall and rural crafts marquee, displaying regional fare in a village context, are other integral aspects. All of this and the tremendous variation of main ring attractions provide entertainment for all the family and friends.
Come and See – you may be surprised and delighted!!

NSA Sheep Northern Ireland 2023
2023-07-04
NSA Sheep Northern Ireland 2023
Date: 4th July 2023
Time: TBC
Location: Tynan Estate, Co Armagh
Following the disappointing postponement from 2021 due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic NSA Sheep Northern Ireland will next take place on the 4th July 2023 at Tynan Estate, Co Armagh by kind permission of Kate Kingan and Peter Mant.
The 2023 event hopes to follow on from the event in 2019 which saw a number of successful attractions and competitions return as well as useful seminars and workshops providing up to date information on the UK sheep sector as well as hands on practical advice.
Kate and Peter have taken the estate back into farming themselves and have been keen to improve and enhance the farming element of the estate. They have become part of The NI Sheep Programme described below.

Northern Ireland Sheep Programme:
The Northern Ireland Sheep Programme was launched in May 2019 at Balmoral Show. The programme is a joint collaboration between CAFRE, Dunbia and the Irish Farmers Journal. The aim of the three-year programme is to increase the profitability of participating farmers through technological transfer and the adoption of the latest research advancements and management practices.
There are 9 participating farmers and the farms deliver a good geographical spread in sheep strongholds.
The farms also reflect the diverse nature of the sheep sector, with significant variation in flock size, systems operated, land type and breed profile.
The programme will be very much applicable to farmers in Northern Ireland, Ireland and across Britain. Those interested will be able to follow developments and learn about each farm through the Irish Farmers Journal media platforms, with coverage ramping up in the coming weeks. CAFRE and Dunbia events will also provide updates and longer term there will be an opportunity for farm visits.

Royal Highland Show 2023
2023-06-22 07:00 - 2023-06-25 18:00 (Europe/London)
One of Scotland’s most loved outdoor agricultural events

The annual Royal Highland Show celebrates the best in farming, food and rural industry across Scotland. For four days in June, it offers fun for all ages including opportunities to get up close to farmyard animals, sample delicious and often locally produced food and drink, and experience rural living as never before.
Put on by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland and launched in 1822, the show initially moved around visiting different towns and regions of the country. In 1960, it settled in Edinburgh with the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston becoming a permanent home. 2022 marked the 200th anniversary for the Royal Highland Show and the return to a normal event after a two year hiatus because of Covid.
At each event day attendees can expect to see the finest livestock, witness incredible feats of skill and bravery in the forestry arena, feel the heat of the hot coals at the farrier displays, enjoy countryside pursuits, view spectacular show jumping, learn about rural crafts and inspect the vast lots of farm machinery across the showground as well as enjoying a line-up of live music and entertainment to captivate the whole family. In addition, shoppers are always spoiled for choice with a huge selection of country wares on offer, ranging from pet accessories and jewellery to art and garden furniture.
In 2019, the Royal Highland Show attracted nearly 200,000 people and boasted more than 5,000 animals – including 2,128 sheep, 2,200 horses and 1,101 beef and dairy cattle – competing for over 280 trophies and £170,000 in prize money.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Royal Highland Show was cancelled in 2020 and 2021, with a focus instead on bringing together the most-loved parts of the live show to take place behind closed doors at the showground and be live-streamed around the world.
The next Royal Highland Show will be between the dates of June 22nd to June 25th 2023.
See what’s on at The Royal Highland Show!
The show has something for everyone, from competitions to shopping, live music and tasty food and drinks – It’s the one place you can meet, touch, smell, taste and take home the best in the country.

NSA North Sheep 2023
Date: 7th June 2023
Location: Bradford House Farm, Ponteland, Northumberland, NE20 0HA
Following the disappointing postponement from 2021 due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic NSA North Sheep will next be held on Wednesday 7th June 2023, kindly hosted by JE Woodman & Son at its Bradford House Farm near Ponteland in Northumberland.
JE Woodman & Son is a farming enterprise headed up by noted livestock farmer Willie Woodman. In hosting this event, Willie, who farms with his wife Christine and son Martin will provide a glimpse into a traditional Northumberland farm. The 2130 acres they farm are located at two bases, 30 miles apart, and include the 930 acres Bradford House Farm near Ponteland and 1,200 acres Great Chesters, a hill farm in the shadow of Hadrian’s Wall.
Organised by the Northern Regional Committee of the NSA, NSA North Sheep is a showcase for all sectors of the sheep industry and a key date in the diary for the thousands of people who attend. With hundreds of trades stands, a series of seminars, and dozens of demonstrations this is an event which encompasses all aspects of the sheep farming industry. With the Woodman’s sheep farming enterprise focussing on producing top quality prime lambs which are sold at Hexham Mart, the farm tour will be highly anticipated and form an integral part of the day.
Bradford Farm, is a traditional mid Northumberland livestock and arable farm purchased by the Woodman family in 2002 to complement Great Chesters. Today it is home to a lowland flock, of 250 Mule ewes and 200 Texel cross ewes and it is a base to grow wheat, barley, oilseed rape and beans. The sheep flock at Great Chesters comprises 700 Blackface ewes, 250 are bred to the blackface for replacements ewe lambs, the other 500 are put to the Blue Faced Leicesters to breed mule lambs. In addition, the Woodman’s have 270 cattle, mainly Limousin crosses with a few British Blue crosses, with 50 to 60 bulling heifers. The overall sheep farming enterprise is self-sufficient with the exception of some bought in tups, usually sourced from Hexham Mart.

You can always be sure of seeing the best in Livestock, with stockmen and women travelling from all over the UK to Moreton Show, which includes the National Poll Hereford Cattle Show. To add to the experience, Moreton Show always entertains and informs – even the most experienced of farmers – with expert commentary throughout the day.
The action-packed Horse Section has lots of showing and show jumping classes, many of which are Horse of the Year Show qualifiers.
In addition to our show-stopping top-of-the-bill act, the Grand Arena is where you will see top class show jumping and the climax of the show – the Grand Parade of champion livestock.
The Moreton Morrell and Pershore Colleges ‘Farmtastic’ area is a celebration of farming and rural life.
There’s Family Fun across the showground and the Home and Garden marquee is always a major attraction with the best in flowers, vegetables, handicrafts, wines and homebaking.
And then there’s the shopping – with our trade stands, selling everything from Wellington Boots to Combine Harvesters.
It’s all at Moreton Show – The Countryside in a Day.
Farming, Food & Family Fun.

People travel from all over the country to have their cattle, sheep, horses, ponies, donkeys and goats compete here, which ensures a high quality and good standard of competition.
The animals themselves are hugely impressive. And to see how well they are cared for and the amount of work that goes into that care is also quite something to behold.

The Countryside Area’s Ring features a variety of different demonstrations and displays throughout the day. From Ferret Racing to Gun Dog Displays and Falconry, the Countryside Area of the Show is not to be missed. There will be opportunities to meet the demonstrators, have a go at fly fishing as well as saying hello to ferrets too.

Brecon County Show promotes local produce. You can sample delights from the local and national producers in our Food Hall or a sit down three-course lunch in the food marquee or why not try one of the food stand areas which sells everything from burgers to doughnuts.
There really is something for everyone to enjoy, from award-winning ice cream, hog roast, fish & chips, freshly made pizza, burgers, cakes and tea and coffee…
Outside bar if you like a little tipple or two, including indoor members, bar both serving a variety of soft and alcohol drinks..

There are over 200 trade stands situated all over the showground. From farm and plant machinery to crafts, food and fashion, you’re sure to find something of interest.

For around six thousand years, sheep shearing and wool production has been an important part of this country’s sheep industry.
And you can see just how it’s done, at the Brecon County Show. It’s fascinating to watch and features some of the best exponents of the art in the county. Knowledgeable commentators will guide you through what is happening, as the action unfolds.

NSA Sheep 2022
2022-07-27 - 2022-07-28 | Three Counties Showground
NSA looks forward to 2022 NSA Sheep Event
27th July 2021
With exactly one year until the return of the National Sheep Association (NSA)’s flagship event NSA Sheep 2022, plans are beginning to take shape to ensure visitors to the popular sheep farming show can look forward to an informative and enjoyable day out.
With Covid-19 causing the sad cancellation of the 2020 event, a year that would have celebrated 40 years of the popular event being held at the Three Counties Showground, Worcestershire, NSA Sheep 2022 will provide the first opportunity in four years for visitors to visit the business to business event.
Taking place on Wednesday 27th July 2022 the show will include a vast array of sheep farming trade stands from commercial companies, sheep breed societies and industry groups as well as offering attendees the chance to join informative seminars, workshops and demonstrations throughout the day. Competitions such as the finals of the NSA Next Generation shepherds competition, fencing and fleece competitions will go ahead with the popular sheepdog sale also returning.
Providing an opportunity to meet with others socially the evening before the main NSA event, the NSA Sheep Event dinner will also return next year and is open to both commercial companies and individuals interested in enjoying the evening.
NSA Chief Executive Phil Stocker comments: “All involved with NSA events and in particular the biennial national NSA Sheep Event were bitterly disappointed to not be able to welcome visitors last year, and indeed this year also, as Covid restrictions have meant the cancellation of further events.
“But as plans for next year begin, we are excited by the prospect of the opportunity to meet face to face with sheep farmers and industry representatives from across the sector. NSA is confident that its events will return safely and successfully providing the UK’s sheep farmers with the chance to enjoy a worthwhile day out.”
Exhibitors interested in attending NSA Sheep Event will soon be able to confirm their trade stand space as bookings are expected to open very soon.
