A plea for help to reunite with its owner, lost between the exit gates and the car park. Please let us know if you've picked it up so it can be reunited with its owner!

Some items loved the show so much they've stayed with us.

Ben Wordsworth's coat is still needing collection and nobody has been in touch yet. There were people earlier saying they knew who it belonged to but haven't contacted us yet.

We've also had some glasses and sunglasses handed in.

We love a HEAVY HORSE and so do our long standing sponsors https://www.tommoorhouseandson.co.uk/

In fact they love them so much they have sponsored
Warwick Shire Horse Carriages coming to the show this year.

The gorgeous animals, seen here in this picture pulling the dray, are black Shires, a traditional working horse.

The Warwick Shires horses, Sergeant, Max, Decade and King are trained in many different disciplines and can demonstrate traditional tasks such as ploughing or the use of other antique horse drawn machinery.

On Saturday you will be able to see them on the show field and in the main ring pulling the dray around 2.20.

Thank You Moorhouse you're as big hearted as these animals!

Now we have got some unusual animals at this years show but I didn’t know we were going to have bears!!!

Even if they are Toy(ota) bears they’ve got to be worth a look especially given the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice connection.

Thank you for caring RRG Toyota and see you Saturday!

28/06/2023

We've got to keep the big beasts in check on show day so we really appreciate the help with scaffolding we get from Radcliffes http://www.jradcliffeplant.co.uk/
