Roll up! Roll up! It’s show time in the Ludlow area with several lovely, classic county and speciality shows packed with entertainment and competitions plus the always on-trend dog show. These are great days out for family fun in July and August. This traditionally celebrates and showcases the area’s agriculture at this the time of year. While some country show programmes revolve around it, there is also a wide range of activities, including music and kids zones. Some of these events have been running for over a hundred years (hello, Burwarton Show and Tenbury Countryside Show). And, they are very popular so book your tickets now.

This year, a massively popular date in the Ludlow calendar will be a scorcher. Doors open at 10 am, and the classes and displays start at 11 am. A great fun day is in store for you, your family, and your pets. Every dog can participate, with over 20 classes to enter, from the waggiest tail to the fastest sausage eater. Once again, there will be significant Have-A-Go events from racing to scurries and agility and display teams with this year’s highlight – a first time for the show, Bob Hogg with his sheepdogs and ducks! In addition, there will be a range of food and drink and stalls to browse, and the opportunity to stroll around the beautiful grounds of Stokesay Court.
