The East of England Showground
The region's leading countryside and lifestyle show - The East of England Show – is returning to the East of England Showground
About The East of England Showground
This Show will be a celebration of British farming and rural life. The livestock classes will be building on last year's success and hoping for even higher levels of entries this year. The Show always attracts some of the country's finest livestock and the standard just seems to improve every year. This year's beef cattle classes will be aiming for bumper entries and the Show will be hosting the English National Charolais Show.
Horses of all shapes and sizes will feature strongly throughout the Show as always. Show Jumping will be returning to the main arena this year, guaranteeing an action packed equestrian timetable for spectators in the Grandstand. There will also be classes for all breeds of horses from Shires to Shetlands.
Vintage agricultural machinery, steam and classic cars will have a larger section this year and the demonstrations and parades by these magnificent machines will be a treat for all nostalgia buffs. One of the stars of this section will be Thorney's 1908 Steam Fire Engine.
Food remains at the heart of the Show and children will be able to come along and cook a Great British Pasty, and along the way find out how their food gets from the farm to their plate. The Food Hall will contain many of the region's best food and drink producers, selling their delicious produce. You will also be able to gain inspiration in the food demonstration theatre, while on Friday the finalists in the School Food Challenge will amaze you with their skills as they battle it out for this prestigious trophy.
Few will be able to resist the Peterborough International Orchid Show. Exhibitors come from all over the world to display their magnificent blooms and compete for prestigious awards.
There will be live music and dance on stage throughout the weekend, and Saturday night headliners will be singing sensations the New Seekers.
There is plenty of opportunity for retail therapy, with over 400 retail stands to choose from, including lifestyle and fashion, a craft fair and the Food Hall.
