Thousands of families across Staffordshire are being urged to ‘save the date’ for the annual county show as part of their half term programme of fun.
All steam ahead at the Staffordshire County Show
Organisers of Staffordshire County Show said the two day half term event on May 31 and June 1 was the perfect opportunity for a day out for all members of the family.
The show programme is packed with attractions for children of all ages from youngsters who will enjoy the mud kitchen in the Woodfest area to teenagers who will be ringside for the revving of the engines with the Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display Team.
Whilst the next generation of farmers will be inspired by the first class entries in livestock competitions across the showground and enjoy everything at the heart of the traditional agricultural show.
The show at the county showground on Weston Road is one of the area’s major events on the calendar and is expected to attract more than 65,000 visitors. A huge part of its appeal is the large number of activities on offer across the huge showground and surrounding areas.
Richard Williams, Chief Executive of the Staffordshire and Birmingham Agricultural Society, said: “We know people plan ahead when it comes to days off and childcare during half term holidays so we want people to put the date in the diary now so they don’t miss out.
“With it being a two day event it gives people the choice and we see many families return for the second day with other members of the family.
“From babies still in pushchairs to grandparents and great-grandparents there is no doubt our fantastic show has something for everyone. It is really is a family occasion enjoyed by all – it is where memories are made and talked about for many years.
“For one fantastic ticket price the whole family gets to enjoy so many shows within one show – whatever their interest they are sure to have a fantastic time.
“So diaries at the ready – choose your date and be ready when the early bird tickets go on sale on April 1st on the website www.staffscountyshowground.co.uk
or from the showground office.”
Holly Hobson, Show Secretary said trade stand applications were coming in extremely well and urged anyone who wanted a trade stand pitch to showcase their services or product to more than 65,000 people to email holly@staffscountyshowground.co.uk or call 01785 258060.
