The Kington Show returns on September 12.
A rural show on the Herefordshire/Mid Wales border returns in September.
The Kington show on Saturday, September 12 and organisers say it promises to be a great day out for the whole family.
There will be the usual horse, cattle and sheep classes alongside an action-packed programme of entertainment. The show will be held on its usual site at The Ovals Farm, Kington, close to the Welsh Border in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.
After 150 years the show continues to be one of the most popular one day show in the county and this year is set to be no exception.
“Excitement will be provided in the main ring by the OG Performance horses and their team of specialist riders displaying tricks used in multiple film and TV series. In addition, the Parachute Display team will be with us again this year with their heart stopping ariel stunts during the afternoon,” a spokesperson said.
“The main ring will also host the ever popular grand parade of livestock, the interhunt challenge and a magnificent procession of vintage vehicles. Elsewhere on the showground there will be entertainment from the Wye Valley Axemen, the Ferret World Roadshow, the Bill Bailey Band, and much more! In the evening, Radnor YFC will be hosting the ever popular after-show dance.
“There will be over 150 trade stands, including a food and craft marquee, an open dog show, a fun dog show, horticultural classes, shearing and YFC competitions. In addition, there will be plenty of opportunity to eat and drink during the day at the wide variety of catering stands and the licensed public bar.”
