Record numbers of entries are expected for this year's Great Eccleston Agricultural Show. Organisers are confident the show, on July 12 and 13, will see more than 4,000 exhibits take part in the 500 classes of competition.
On the Saturday, the focus is on dairy cattle, heavy horses, sheep and poultry. The following day beef cattle, goats and the rare sheep breeds take centre stage. Pigs, which made a successful comeback at Great Eccleston just three years ago, will be prominent on both days.
Great Eccleston is also a showcase for the whole range of crafts and skills associated with the country, including handicrafts, horticulture and local arts. Locally produced foods will also feature at cookery demonstrations. There will also be a Victorian funfair, Welsh themed goods and stalls to keep families entertained.
The showground is open from 8am to 5pm. Admission is £8 for adults, £6 for senior citizens and £2 for children and includes free parking.
