With just one month to go until the return of the annual Eccleshall Show, organisers have been busy putting the finishing touches to this year's preparations.

After the Covid pandemic forced the cancellation of the last two shows, the committee are looking forward to welcoming it back for its 75th anniversary.

The show regularly attracts 5,000 visitors to the venue at The Parks, Sugnall, North Eccleshall and will take place this year on Saturday, September 3.

Show chairman, Ed Lambert said: “It’s great to be back. We are looking forward to giving our community a really spectacular event this year.”

In the main ring there will be two feature events – The Vander brothers with their daredevil tricks, together with the BMX team who have both performed at previous shows.

Also being staged in the main ring there will be the Pet Dog Agility competition, childrens sports, Junior Rugby Club demo and a vintage tractor parade.
