The show boasts a large horse section from Shetland ponies through the breeds to heavy horses and retrained racehorses.

Competitions will be judged in the main ring at 2.30pm followed by the Grand Parade and presentations of cups.

In the livestock area there will be a large selection of sheep and, this year, the show is hosting the Border Leicester Sheep National Show along with usual cattle, pigs and rare breeds sections.
