The annual country show in Bridgnorth has been premièring the best of rural life in Shropshire fore more than 125 years, and the 2024 event was greeted by some of the best weather in the show's recent history – following last year's event that was marred by downpours.

The show stared at 8am with the horses in the Main Ring and continued throughout the day with the livestock and horse classes in their respective show fields with around 700 sheep, 70 pigs, 200 cattle and 300 horses on display in various classes.

Hundreds of volunteers were on hand for what turned out to be a packed event, with hundreds of trade stalls, along with representatives from West Mercia Police and Telford & Wrekin as well as Shropshire Council who were presenting their Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) to farmers, landowners, and local communities.
