What to see and do
There is much to see and do at the Moreton-in-Marsh Show.
Livestock Area
In the Livestock area you will be able to see all types of cattle and sheep along with goats. The Livestock Parade at 3:20pm 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, the livestock parade and the six bar challenge. The Knights of Middle England will perform their stunning display of fast horses, heroic knights and daring stunts! A Good versus Bad theme is guaranteed to have audiences’ young and old drawn into their world of circa 1348, when the traditional evil Black Knight and his trusty fool try to take on The Earl of Warwick and his knights. These 21st century knights will be scouting our Grand Arena looking for willing onlookers to turn into courageous, jousting, medieval heroes so make sure you don't miss them.
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
Our dog ring 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 2011 show The Countryside & Heritage Area (sponsored by Butler Sherborn) will feature traditional crafts including a cider maker, weavers, spinners, hurdle maker, thatcher, pole lathe, and slate roof tilers.
This year the Countryside and Heritage area will have ‘The story of the chicken’ as well as the ever popular Dog Ring, where owners can enter Pedigree Dog class in the morning and fun classes in the afternoon.
Added attractions this year. Watch honey being made, Baby chicks and hatching eggs,try your hand at making butter, milk a ‘cow’ and ‘dress’ a chicken. Complete with a rest area for parents and lots of freebies.
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.
Bandstand
This year as well as a local school band playing in the Bandstand, we will have demonstrations from the local Belly dance troop and the local Zumba fitness group.
