This Year's Show

The Main Ring Event 2010: Wild Times!

No hero ever acted out his role on a more spectacular stage than the Cowboys of the American West. They created a riveting appeal, even with their own generation, and it is an appeal that has lasted. It was often a lonely life, on the trail of bad guys or lost cattle, building a homestead on the vast prairies, a time when the Horse was King and best buddy rolled into one. But when a group of cowboys got together fun would be had as they donned their finest gear, and spruced up their horses to indulge in the wildest horseplay, showing off their skills. It is these times – the Wild Times that our team portray. The speed and excitement of the Rodeo style Trick Riding, the Ranch owner on his high stepping horse, comedy with “Handsome Stranger” and much more!

The Company of Horsemen, riding tall in their saddles will transport you to those thrilling days of Yesteryear – those Wild Times.

Other Attractions:

If you are looking for a fascinating and nostalgic family day out, look no further than the Weeting Steam Engine Rally and Country Show. The Weeting Steam Engine Rally is sure to appeal to the whole family.
There are parades of steam traction engines and steam lorries, vintage tractors and fire engines. Working steam powered farmyard machines, a full sized steam train on rails, a model steam train (which takes passengers round a rack) and small steam models including boats on a pond. There are static displays of vintage cars, motorbikes and military vehicles.
In years past we have had demonstrations of steam ploughing, steam threshing of corn, a steam powered sawmill and stone crushing and farmyard implements of a bygone era, as well as ploughing and cultivating demonstrations using vintage tractors and horses. The Snakewood Dog Agility Team are regular demonstrators at the show.
The Community Tent houses a number of museums and local organisations who host displays and interactive amusements for our visitors. There are also craft marquees and of course many trade stands to wander around at your leisure.
Our helicopter flights have proved to be popular way to get a birds-eye view of the whole show and some of the surrounding area. We also have old time fairground rides as well as new rides, bouncy castles, mini quad bikes and many other bits and pieces to keep each member of the family entertained.
We have two bars on the showground, the Burrell Restaurant will be open all day and evening, and a number of catering stands, which are dotted around the showground, for less formal meals and snacks.
