Coventry and warwickshire’s biggest one-day agricultural show back this weekend

Coventry and Warwickshire’s biggest one-day agricultural show is making a comeback this weekend. Tomorrow (May 31) will see Kenilworth Show's hotly-anticipated return. It has not been

held for two years but is back on the Stoneleigh Park Estate, just outside the village of Stoneleigh. In the past the event has attracted thousands of visitors. Among the highlights tomorrow

will be livestock and equine competitions, sheep shearing, modern and vintage machinery, classic cars, dog shows and a lively Warwickshire Young Farmers hub. READ MORE: DATE HMO PLANS FOR

Trailer Stage will provide a platform for some of the region’s finest musicians and performers, while more than 120 trade stands will feature a wide range of arts, crafts, jewellery and

homeware as well as artisan breads, pies and preserves. There will also be bouncy castles, traditional fair stalls and even a mini hobbyhorsing race track for youngsters. The Kenilworth Show

dates back to 1947 and is organised by the Kenilworth and District Agricultural Society (KADAS), a charity that promotes farming and offers education around agricultural issues. Charlie

Weetman, show director, said: "After many months of planning the wait is nearly over! The stalls are booked, livestock pampered, and the showground is really coming to life. "We’ll

have so much going on for all the family to enjoy. Some of the attractions will have an agricultural focus, but there will be plenty to interest people who aren’t necessarily from a farming

background. "We’ll have a vast array of trade stands, selling everything from pet accessories, handmade furniture and agricultural machinery to authentic Indian cuisine, Caribbean rum

and African kimonos. "For the first time in the show’s long history we’ll also have a stage dedicated to live music with performances from a range of talented local musicians and

dancers. "And, to top it all off, the weather forecast looks great too! Any tickets bought before show day will be reduced by £5 per person so it’s well worth buying in advance."

The director concluded: "We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the showground for what promises to be one of our best shows ever." Tickets for the show, which are free for

under 12s, can be bought here.
