Burwarton Show ends in success with no buts about it
Organisers of this year's Burwarton Show say they are "very happy" with the many thousands of people who turned out despite the early muddy conditions.
The one day agricultural show is one of the biggest of its type in the country but show chairman Alan Watkins said within a few days the land will return to its usual use as a sheep field.
Mr Watkins said the attendance figures for Thursday's event are not yet known but added: "We are very pleased with the way it went.
"There was one sharp shower during the day but then the wind and sun dried out the land. We had to tow some cars on to the land but did not need to tow any off."
He praised the near 400 volunteers without whom he said the show could not run.
"We are first and foremost an agricultural show, we like to educate the public by showing them the warts and all of farming," he added. "And we achieved that."
A date has already been fixed for next year's show, August 1, 2024.
