Agricultural and county shows have a long history in the UK. A highlight for many over the summer months, they are back with a bang following the lifting of Covid19 restrictions in February 2021.
Bringing value not just to their local communities, but promoting tourism and attracting visitors from far and wide, reconnecting urban areas with rural and helping to build a better understanding of food and farming. They can also provide an entertaining and educational day out for friends and families.
Having had the opportunity to attend some shows on behalf of the Country Land and Business Association this year, I have particularly noticed the feeling of community and pride these shows bring. They are often put on the calendar a year in advance so that time off can be planned. One CLA member I spoke to at Burwarton Show said it was like a holiday for her and her husband. It gave them time to catch up with friends and enjoy the day together away from the farm.
It is common knowledge that it hasn’t been easy for shows to continue after Covid19, with organisers feeling the economic effects that a year of no shows, and a year of restricted shows has had.
