Royal Cheshire County Show hailed a huge success

Organisers have labelled the inaugural Royal Cheshire County Show a huge success, and following a short break, are already looking forward to 2017 when the Show is scheduled for June 20-21.

Final visitor numbers are still being calculated but it is believed the Tabley Showground hosted an impressive crowd upwards of 75,000 people across the two days.

The feedback from more than 700 traders who attended was also overwhelmingly positive, said Royal Cheshire County Show Executive Director Nigel Evans who acknowledged the challenging ground conditions.

“It was the wettest start to a Show I’ve seen in my time here which is always a possibility with a large outdoor event in a rural setting such as ours,” he said.
