Organisers behind The Shire Horse Society's National Show have moved the event from Arena UK in Grantham to the Staffordshire County Showground this year due to an increase in demand. The exact location of the show will be Bingley Hall, at the centre of the County Showground, with the hope that hundreds of people will turn out to support the iconic breed which was in danger of dying out just a few decades ago.

It is set to take place from noon to 6pm on March 18, 8am to 6pm on March 19 and 8am to 4pm on March 20.
