Whittingham Village Show

SHOW DAY IS THE 16TH AUGUST 2008.........

Welcome to Whittingham Village Show...

Are you going to Whittingham Fair,
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme;
Remember me to one who lives there,
For once she was a true love of mine.

Whittingham is a delightful village in the beautiful Vale of Whittingham and everyone is invited to our annual village show.

Last year's show suffered from the foot and mouth situation so we are delighted to welcome back the Sheep Show, Dog Show and Pony Sports . Once again this years show promises to be packed with events and entertainment to suit people of all ages who enjoy a traditional country show. The Show Field will be an array of stalls, trade stands and activities, including the ever popular archery, bouncy castle and Open Athletics competition.

The Horticultural Show in the main marquee has classes for a wide variety of exhibitors of all ages and abilities, including flowers, vegetables, floral art, handicraft, photography, art and home made produce.

The day's events will begin at 10.00 am with the expertise of 'one man and his dog' in the sheepdog trials for the Brian Wood Challenge Cup. At noon the keenly contested Pony Sports will begin. The riders will compete for two major awards - the J.R.Blythe Challenge Cup and the prestigious Aln & Breamish Cup which is presented to the child aged 10 years and under who gains the most points at the Powburn, Glanton, Whittingham and Ingram Shows.

An entertaining Dog Agility Display will be followed by the delightful Companion Dog Show which is a Kennel Club registered show. There are classes for Gundogs, Non-Sporting, Terriers and Puppies and The Pumpkin Plate will be awarded to the Best In Show.

... and to quench your hunger and thirst, a wide variety of tasty snacks and drinks are available from various caterers and a fully licensed bar.

A great day out for all the family - we look forward to seeing you.
