19 fun-filled photos as Oswestry Show returns for 137th year

The Oswestry Show attracts around 15,000 people every year, and made its annual return on Saturday.

This year was no different, with crowds packing out the showground for a day jam-packed full of exhibitions and competitions.

Billed as one of the leading one-day agricultural shows, the popular event is held annually on the first Saturday in August at the 37-acre Oswestry Showground.

The stunning weather of the last week must have come as a relief to attendees, organisers and exhibitors, many of whom witnessed the worst weather in the show's history last year.

The show once again boasted a diverse horse section featuring everything from Shetland ponies to heavy horses as well as retrained racehorses.

Visitors were treated to all-day entertainment in the main ring from performers including Ollie’s Equestrian Display Team, while the Village Green featured local gymnastics and cheerleading displays.

A wide range of cattle was on show, and alongside the usual sheep and pigs were smaller animals including rabbits, cavies and pigeons.
