Secretary, Susan Sandells, said the ground was muddy underfoot in the morning but the weather improved throughout the day.

"We have really good entry numbers and visitors. Talking to those on the trade stands they said they had been really busy and had a cracking day, which was great to hear."

"People seemed pleased to be able to get together, particularly after the past few years. Minsterley Show is very much a country show and for many people it is a great chance to see people and old friends that they haven't seen for a long time."

"The motorcycle display was a big hit and the fun fair and village green were very popular. We had a full fun fair this year, the first since the pandemic."

The vintage vehicles parade was also a highlight.

For the show president, David Evans, it was a busy day.

As well as his role heading the show he also had a stall to raise money and awareness for the charity, Pick Ups for Peace, supported by Young Farmers.

The charity is sending Pick Ups Trucks, 4x4s and ambulances to Ukraine, loaded with supplies.
