At each venue, visitors enjoy fabulous scenery with breathtaking views of the beautiful valley in The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

And this year was no different with the show being held at Boarsden Farm, Dunsop Road, Newton-in-Bowland, by kind permission of The Knowlemere Estate, and Mr and Mrs M. Pinder.

The cattle, sheep and YFC sections were extremely well supported and there was also a great selection of floral art, preserves, baking and handicrafts on display in the horticulture marquee.
