Huge range of activities ready to thrill Shropshire County Show crowds

New this year is free admission for children under 12 (when accompanied by an adult). The showground will welcome for the very first time the Pump it Bike Track which will be one of many free activities for kids. All equipment is provided for children to experience the thrill of BMX, along with a fantastic Kids Zone offering more free activities including toddler workshops, circus skills, the Animal Man and a unique baby sensory area.

The most spectacular event is likely to be the appearance of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, providing a spectacular flypast by the iconic Spitfire and Hurricane aeroplanes. This of course will be a timely reminder that 2015 is the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two.

Headlining the main arena events will be the Steve Colley motorbike stunt display team. The energetic Young Farmers will be doing safari Jeep racing and parading their fantastic decorated themed floats.

Also in the main arena will be the Balfours Inter Hunt Relay with a twist, where quad bikes and terriers all join in the hilarious fun-packed competition between two local hunts. For the horse lovers there will be a full schedule of classes for horses and ponies in the County Horse Show. This will include the fabulous Shire Horse class.

The dog show will include novelty, child handler, happiest, rescue veteran and best six legs competitions! Dog classes, and of course various pedigree classes, all combine to make it a fantastic introduction to showing at the Greenhous West Mid Showground. The organisers are also delighted to announce that the Whitchurch Dog Display Team will be performing in the canine arena with fire walks and other demonstrations of fantastic skills.

Cuerden Birds of Prey displays will be run by experienced and professional falconers with a passion for the birds that will thrill the audience.

Another popular event is the grand parade showing the prizewinning livestock from across the show.

For the first year, sponsors of the showground, Greenhous, will be featuring vehicles from across their extensive range of brands with Volvo, Toyota, Nissan, Renault, Dacia, Ford and Vauxhall cars on display. On the commercial side Volkswagen and Vauxhall will be present as will the truck franchise DAF.

For the older vehicle enthusiasts there will be a vintage display section where classic and vintage vehicles will be lined up for close inspection.
