THOUSANDS of visitors are set to celebrate the best of local farming, food and rural life when the Kenilworth Show returns this weekend.
Warwickshire’s largest one-day agricultural show, which takes place on Stoneleigh Road tomorrow (Saturday), will feature everything from livestock competitions and equestrian displays to classic cars and live music, together with plenty of hands-on countryside activities.
Show Director Charlie Weetman said: “The Kenilworth Show is one of the highlights of Warwickshire’s rural calendar, bringing together the very best of agriculture, food, countryside pursuits and family entertainment in one place.
“From award-winning livestock and thrilling arena displays to hands-on activities for children and local food producers, the show offers a unique opportunity for people to connect with rural life. We can’t wait to welcome visitors from across the county and beyond for what promises to be a fantastic day out.”
The day will culminate with the livestock parade, showcasing some of the finest animals from across the country. More than 100 cattle and 250 sheep, representing over 25 breeds, will compete in the livestock section, while the equestrian area will feature classes for riders of all abilities alongside displays from heavy horses and horse-drawn carriages.
Across the showground, visitors can explore more than 120 trade stands, browse arts, crafts, jewellery and homeware, and discover local produce in the new Food Hall.
Parents will find plenty to keep children entertained, with bouncy castles, go-karts, fairground attractions, face painting and craft activities all on offer.
