Beckbury Show, based near Telford, just keeps growing and the one-day event is expected to see 4,000 visitors on Saturday.

Now in its ninth year, all the money from the show will go to charity.

Parking is free and there will be host of events including a full food court with a traditional BBQ and pig roast, a beer tent with cask ales and lagers – plus a prosecco bar.

There’s lots for children too, with a fun fair, bouncy castle and donkey rides.

Gary Wellburn, one of the show's organisers, said: "At the heart of the show is always the main arena and stage and this year there’s a packed agenda.

"Whether you’re a dog or horse lover or just fancy a really good day out, the main arena and stage with live music will keep everyone entertained."

The event, which is organised by local volunteers with the hopes of aim of creating a fun day out for all and raising money for local charities, is looking to add to the £75,000 already raised.

Organisers say Beckbury Show promises to be a fantastic day out for all the family and bring the country to life.
