The Moreton Show team are excited to
present 165 acres of farming, food and family fun on
Saturday 2nd September 2023.
Set in the heart of the North Cotswolds, Moreton Show is a firm favourite in the rural calendar. It’s a premier one-day agricultural show, which returns on Saturday 2nd September 2023 with all the best bits of the countryside packed into the beloved showground.
Moreton Show has been established for over 70 years and is now one of
the largest one-day agricultural shows in the country, attracting more than
20,000 visitors and 200 trade stands.
The show prides itself on its traditional
values, providing a stage for local produce and crafts as well as championing
the best in British agriculture and equine showing, all whilst delivering a
family fun-packed, educational day out for all visitors.
In 2023, the Grand Arena will once again be filled with agri-tastic
acts like the Shetland Pony Grand National, the Heavy Horse Parade and the
Livestock Parade, a firm family favourite, with over 30 different breeds of
animals in the ring at the same time!
The Rural Attractions Arena will, this year, include The BMX
Show plus a very special and much-anticipated parade for the 65th
anniversary celebration of the Series II Land Rover and the Clumber Spaniels.
Stuart Mace, Society Chairman said; ‘The Show team are
delighted to present a new attraction in the form of the Sheep Shearing
Competition and welcome the return of The Sheep Show. Find out about how to win
tickets to the Show by checking our Facebook page – and local press – over the
next few months. Keep an eye out for our ‘Where’s Woolly’ competition too!’

The Cotswold Raw Dog Arena will be packed with dogtastic
fun, including the Strigidea Gun Dog Display and a great companion dog show for you to enter
with your four-legged friends.
The Food
& Drink Theatre was a huge success last year and returns with co-hosts
Susie Whitfield, founder of The Cotswold Baking Workshop, and Vernon Harwood
from BBC Radio Gloucester. The timetable for the Theatre is a real treat, with
Susie co-ordinating events and demonstrating the art of creating the perfect macaron
plus the Chocolate Genie,
AKA Yvonne Everest, delighting attendees with a chocolatey demonstration.
Jess Parkes, Horse and Farms & Crops Secretary confirms: ‘Moreton Show 2023 really is
farmtastic! There is a bumper crop of activities for families to get up close
and personal with farm animals and learn a little more about the rural
community. Why not go the whole hog and take a peek at the heavenly
Hedgehog Rescue section too! It’s going to be a very special part of our Show!’
Jess
continues: ‘The Horse Section of the show is thrilled to welcome a NEW Arena
Eventer Challenge competition where a team of riders compete over a set of show
jumps then a short course of cross-country fences in a race to finish in the
fastest time without any penalties. This competition is always fast-paced and
lots of fun for both competitors and spectators, so we are very excited to
introduce it for its first year at Moreton Show!’
To encourage the next generation into farming, the Moreton Show team
have also introduced Young Adult Classes in the Home & Garden section.
