Moreton Show is one of the biggest
one-day agricultural shows in the country, showcasing the best in British
agriculture, the equestrian world and rural life.
After the success of the revamped layout
for the 2021 show, the team have decided to keep the widened aisle ways and the
fantastic Food and Retails Avenues, which were a sell out last year.
The Show not only celebrates the best of
the British countryside but also the wonderful businesses that have shown
endeavour across the Cotswolds. The Food and Retail Avenues are full to the
brim with local businesses, from locally reared Hereford beef to sustainably
made rugs using recycled clothes, there's not much you can't find at Moreton
Show. In 2022, there are 40 food trade stands all based within a 20-mile radius
of the showground. This year, the team are focused on showcasing the great food
and food producers we have in the local area.
Richard Heath, Trade Stand Co-ordinator
says: “We are keen to promote farm to fork at our show. We think its paramount
that everyone understands where their food comes from, and what it takes to
produce that food. We hope to help educate the next generation about their food
and what makes up a balanced diet. It’s also great to show we can repurpose
items rather than sending them to landfill.”
A
long-standing supporter of the show, The Pig and Lion, have had a trade stand
at Moreton Show for the past 12 years and have watched the show grow to what it
is today. This year the team at The Pig and Lion will be demonstrating the traditional and
sustainable craft of rag rug making throughout the day, so pop in and say hi,
you may even be able to put a few clips in too using old t-shirts, jeans,
jumpers and shirts that would usually be thrown away. Ann-Rachel, from The Pig
and Lion agrees: “I love how rural life runs through the heart of the
show, its friendly, supportive and inspirational.”
There's not only lots to
see and do at Moreton Show, it's also a great opportunity to do some shopping, there is everything from
combines to cashmere, tweed to tractors, wellies to wax jackets and lots more!
See you on Saturday, 3rd
September 2022.
