Arena Events Schedule

If you fancy sitting for a while, the arena has a full programme to offer. Notice boards around the perimeter will display the day’s events and timings.

Tug of War

There’s always a packed programme each year. Listen out for the announcements to be sure not to miss anything. Every year we aim to provide a variety of different displays to entertain our visitors throughout the day – and all included in the price of the admission!

Children (& adults) are warmly invited to participate in traditional races such as: Tug of War, Egg and Spoon, Sack and Running. Keep listening for the announcements of the races.

For those of you with dogs at the show, the Dog Racing and Canine Musical Sit are open to everyone who would like to take part.

Presentations of awards will take place at various times on both days.
