The crowds returned to the showground in Shrewsbury on Saturday, for a sizzling return of the Shropshire County Show.

Temperatures approached 30 degrees as thousands flocked to see the livestock and equestrian competitions or just have some rural fun in the sun.

There were serious competitions, both in livestock and in vintage and classic tractors, for those looking to show off excellence in their field.

This year, the show featured everything from high-octane arena entertainment to traditional countryside attractions, alongside shopping, food and trade stands.

The show's main ring entertainment included adrenaline-pumping motorcycle action with the Stannage Stunt Team, a shire horse display and the ever-popular Young Farmers floats and livestock grand parade.

But the real star of the show was the sunshine that greeted the show, helping spotlight the best in rural life that Shropshire has to offer.

A spokesperson for the show said: “To our volunteers, competitors, traders, entertainers, sponsors, suppliers and visitors - thank you for being part of such a brilliant day for Shropshire agriculture and the wider community.”
