An agricultural show is a great day out for the entire family – especially if the weather is good.  Most of these shows offer fun activities for all the family, so there’s something for everyone.  There’s often food stalls from regional producers, and exhibitions where farmers showcase their animals, such as horses, sheep, pigs and goats.  As well as this, there’s sometimes even rare bird and flower shows too.

Visiting one of these shows is a great way to sample local crafts and foods, and enjoy the countryside.  The Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations (ASAO) has a great website, where you can keep up to date with shows in your local area.  Click here to see if there is an upcoming event in your region which you can visit, and re-connect with the countryside around you!
