WHAT'S ON AT THE SHOW?
You just can’t beat the Rutland County Show as a fantastic day out for all the family.
A microcosm of the wider countryside, the show brings together almost every aspect of rural living and lifestyle, from rural crafts and livestock to the region’s finest farm machinery.
Join us for our 192nd Rutland County Show where your entry ticket buys you unlimited fun all day for the whole family.
Free attractions include entertainment in The Main Ring, which this year is hosting the highly skilled Atkinson Action Horse Team. They promise to thrill and astonish with their high energy stunts and tricks along with fast and furious British Scurry and Trials Driving. Meanwhile, over in the Rutland Ring we welcome back the BMX stunt team defying gravity to perform their extraordinary display as well as the team from Meadow View showcasing dog training and skills.
Admire the livestock and equine showing classes, as well having the chance to meet more farm animals in the Show Farmyard. The ever-popular Sheep Show is back with their hilarious ovine antics, and you can watch farriers and rural crafters demonstrate their traditional skills in the Vintage Field.
In our Active Zone you’ll find loads of free sporting activities for all the family, including a climbing wall, Go-Karts, cycling and Rumble Live. Local sports clubs will be on hand to show you what they do best and encourage you can have a go at lots of different activities such as taking part in dance performance workshops
There’s a full timetable of live music in the Bar from local bands as well as the award-winning EAGA gospel choir who bring uplifting harmonies to the show once again.
Other displays throughout the show include vintage tractors, floral arrangements in the horticultural tent, and scent dog demonstrations.
Cheer on Leicestershire’s Young Farmers who will be holding Junior Tug-of-War and Stock Fencing Competitions in the Vintage Field Ring, with winning teams qualifying for the National YFC Finals.
There’s so much for all the family to enjoy and well-behaved dogs too. They don’t even need a ticket to attend, so bring them along too.
Of course, you are welcome to spend some cash in the shopping area where you can browse hundreds of stalls including local crafts – woodwork, jewellery, ceramics – and sample locally produced foods, such as meats, cheeses, pies and jams in the Local Farmers’ Market. If you don’t want to bring your own picnic, there are several bars and a wide range of food from local producers, world cuisine and street food available.
So come along on Sunday 31st May to the Rutland Showground just off the A606 Oakham bypass.
The show opens at 9am with plenty of free parking and a free shuttle bus running throughout the day from Oakham and Uppingham.
