Taking place in the main ring on show day, we are excited to welcome our first heavy horse display. In this demonstration we will learn about the carriages, harnesses and what judges look for when these beautiful animals enter into competitions.

They will also be on display during the day to meet them and ask any questions.

THE SHEEP SHOW

This fun-filled presentation introduces onlookers to 9 different breeds. Each has a story to tell with interesting facts and figures relating to their variety. Each taking their place on stage accompanied by their very own theme tune. Nobby the Norfolk Horn is the star of the show… and he knows it!

Following the Wooly antics of their introduction, we give a live shearing display accompanied by an informative narrative where audiences learn the reasons we shear the sheep and about the complexities of types of wool. And if that’s not enough, we round it off with our star-studded flock treating us to “The Sheep Show Shuffle”, yes, you heard it here first, our very own… “Strictly Come Baancing”! What would Craig say!?

GIANT ALDABRA TORTOISES

They love visitors to give them fuss and attention and are very friendly and interactive. Education and raising awareness about Giant tortoises is important as they are vulnerable to extinction.
