Moreton Show returned on Saturday 3rd
September as a wonderful celebration of British life.
CAPTION: Tommy Digweed – Champion Sheep Young Handler – with Tom Hayman-Joyce,
Chair of Moreton Show.
The Moreton-in-Marsh and District
Agricultural and Horse Show Society put on another fantastic family-friendly
show at the weekend.
The
Batsford Estate was awash with farming and equestrian fanatics, who joined
together to showcase livestock, horses and home & garden produce in the 165-acre showground.
Some of
the Show’s highlights included a fly-past from the World's only flyable WWII
Lancaster bomber, the UK's number 1 FMX Athlete and his freestyle motocross stunts, the Welsh
Axemen’s daredevil displays, an exciting end to the Shetland Pony Grand National
and an amazing display of Livestock in the much-loved parade.
Moreton Show has been established for over 70 years and is now one
of the largest one-day agricultural shows in the country. The show prides itself on its traditional values, providing a stage
for local produce and crafts whilst delivering an entertaining and educational
day out for all visitors.
Tom Hayman-Joyce, Moreton
Show chair says: ‘What a magnificent day we had, the weather was perfect, the
quality of livestock and horses competing were exemplary and there were smiles
all round, we even had many a tear in the eye with the Lancaster fly over. The
show was a huge success, with so many thanks going to our volunteers, the
office team, our sponsors, competitors, traders, visitors and members.’
The Show’s supporters once again demonstrated their resolve and
contributed their time and efforts to make the Moreton Show a resounding
success.
Richard Heath, Show Director, said: ‘My feet hurt! But for such a

the day, what a fantastic turnout!
It’s been great to see so many smiley
faces and friends of the Show. The Show committee is absolutely thrilled. I
