Staffordshire County Show
The 2024 Staffordshire County Show kindly sponsored by Rea Valley Tractors and Dunstall Holding, was a success despite the inclement weather with attendances exceeding 50,000 visitors over the two days.
Huge crowds surrounded the arena to watch the affiliated Showing jumping class on Wednesday, kindly sponsored by Inter Space Construct and the world famous JCB Dancing Diggers performing on both days, thrilling the audience with their precision manoeuvres.
‘Farmer Henry’ our new virtual steward made his first appearance at the Show, displaying key information and helping visitors navigate their way around the 40-acre site. Henry was well received, and the organisers hope he will grow in popularity and appear in more areas of the Show next year.
With a Craft Fair, Food Hall, Vintage Section, Classic Car Displays, Model Railway Rides, four hundred trade stands and so much more, visitors were spoilt for choice. The Country Pursuits area has grown in popularity with visitors flocking to watch the West Lancs Dog Display, ride a donkey, lead an alpaca and get up close and personal with a giant tortoise. The livestock entries were up on previous years and the Grand Parade was a true testimony to British Agriculture with the finest champion animals paraded for all to see.
Richard Williams, Chief Executive, thanked all those involved in putting on an excellent two days and in particular expressed gratitude for visitors’ patience with the wet ground conditions and parking. Additional land was secured across the road to accommodate everyone.
Next years, Show will be held on 28th & 29th May 2025, again in the half term week and the Show is delighted to welcome B & B Tractors, the leading supplier of new and used agricultural equipment serving the East Midlands, as the Shows Main Sponsor for 2025.
