The much-loved traditional event, cancelled owing to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, regularly attracts over 80,000 visitors to the Cheshire Showground in Tabley. The online event, which will take place in lieu of the live Show on 16th and 17th June, promises to provide a flavour of the entertainment, education and fun which have become the signature of this vibrant celebration of all things Cheshire. Rob Davenport, Show Director, commented: “We are thrilled to be offering an online showcase of our wonderful Show, providing competitors, visitors and traders an opportunity to celebrate the riches of our county’s agricultural heritage.” Highlights of the virtual event will include fresh, engaging content from the Delamere Dairy Main Ring and The Roberts Bakery Food Halls, as well as the sights and sounds of all the celebrated showground marquees. Competitors are invited to enter their prized animals in an array of competition classes, including cattle, sheep, goats and, of course, light and heavy horses. Competitions will be judged on uploaded photographs and videos by a panel of Show judges and winners will be revealed online on the days of the virtual event. The ground-breaking initiative will also enable the Show’s diverse trade stands to present their products and services to an online audience, allowing shoppers to browse and purchase unique...
