What to see and do

There is much to see and do at the Moreton Show.

Livestock Area

In the Livestock area you will be able to see all types of cattle and sheep along with goats. The Cattle Parade at 3pm in the Grand Arena is not to be missed.

Homes and Garden Marquee

The Homes and Garden Marquee exhibits the numerous entries made in a wide variety of classes - from honey to jam, flowers to photographs it really is fascinating to browse around. During the afternoon just by the Home and Garden Marquee a static band will play in the bandstand - this always proves popular.

The Grand Arena

The Grand Arena features a selection of many things, including some horse classes, a parade of racehorses (watch out for some well known names!), always popular are the show jumping two-bar challenge and horse team relay.

Attractions Arena

The Attractions Arena again has something for all of the family from marching bands to displays by the Young Farmers, Vintage Tractor Parades and Terrier Racing. Close by is the mini ring where our mix 'n mingle acts perform during the day, when they are not out and about performing around the showground. Whether you get the chance to see them here or when they are working around the showfield they are most entertaining.

The Poultry Tent

Also in the area is the Poultry tent which proves more and more popular each year - especially in these days when people are becoming more self sufficient they will find it interesting to learn about keeping chickens.

The Dog Ring

A bit further along we have the dog ring which features classes for both pedigree and non pedigree pooches. This will include classes for pedigree dogs and various fun classes for those who have dogs as pets.

Countryside & Heritage Area

For the 2010 show The Countryside & Heritage Area (sponsored by Butler Sherborn) is to be extended and will include more education (especially for the younger generation) by having identification competitions organised by the Young Farmers, showing where the raw materials come from and what they can produce, e.g. corn to flour, barley to beer, and rape seed to oil.

There will also be aged craft demonstrations and displays of food producers. Other features include hedging and walling demonstrations, the Land Rover Experience and a digger driver competition, as well as a "Field to Plate" display - a grain chain where visitors can follow wheat through to bread, barley through to beer, and oilseed rape through to cooking oil. There will also be a livestock chain with sheep and pigs, and of course visitors will have the chance to ask questions.

Trade Stands

Add into the mix numerous trade stands where you can buy anything from bulbs to benches and cars to cakes - it is an ideal location for some early Christmas shopping.
