Agricultural and countryside shows​

Burwarton Show
First Thursday in August

The Burwarton Show goes back 134 years to 1891 when the Burwarton & District Farmers Club held the first ever Burwarton Show in a field just to the north of the village.
Whilst some of the rules were very much of their Victorian time, others are still applicable to today’s fast changing agricultural scene – co-operation and good husbandry being just two that are still relevant. Today, Burwarton Show can be really proud of its boast that it is the country’s best one day Show.
