EXTREME sports, live music, urban free runners, cookery demonstrations and a field gun display are set to be the highlights of the 133rd Nottinghamshire County Show when it returns in May.
The prestigious county show is being held at Newark Showground on 14 and 15 May and will be jam packed full of activities and attractions to keep all the family entertained.
The show offers a varied and exciting range of things to see and do including a music marquee which will feature the U3A Ukulele Happy Band, the Carlton Male Voice Choir and a Jazz Quintet, as well as many other local acts.
Showcasing some of the UK’s best produce, trade and livestock including the ever-popular Sheep Show, the all-weather show is preparing for an exciting year.
Jayne Olney, show manager of the Nottinghamshire County Show, said: “We are only at the beginning of the year but work is already well underway for the 133rd Nottinghamshire County Show and we are so excited following last year’s hugely successful event.
“The show takes months and months of coordination to ensure we offer guests a day to remember and it continues to get better every year, but we are also keen to demonstrate how diverse we can be too.
“We are very fortunate to have both local and national traders and entertainment already booked for the two day event, showcasing the very best in Nottinghamshire, as well as attractions from around the country – it’s sure to be an excellent day out for all the family.
“The Portsmouth Action Field Gun Display will demonstrate its athleticism with its competitive Field Gun runs to amaze the crowd in the Main Ring, whilst we have the ever-popular Countryside Arena and Notts on Show which will exhibit all things great in the region.”
All ages will enjoy Inspire Shows, showing their agility, body power and strength as they co-ordinate a free running routine in the George Stevenson Exhibition Hall which will see the runners flip and leap through the air, across any obstacle in their path.
BMX Flatland involves a mix of bike breakdancing with fast floor spins and an array of tricks that see them manoeuvring the bike into crazy positions and doing incredibly fast spinning combinations.
The premier entertainment show is performed by world class professionals and will be wowing audiences with their amazing spectacle and creating an atmosphere that crowds won’t forget. Visitors will also be able to learn some of the tricks of the trade between shows.
Chefs will raise the profile of quality food produced in Great Britain as part of the Food Experience zone.
Livery companies across the UK will also be in attendance as well as a range of local stalls who will be promoting farming, food, rural life and heritage in Nottingham and beyond.
Jayne added: “Inspire Shows will bring their own brand of exciting urban free running to the show and we are very much looking forward to witnessing what the world class display team can do. Along with the Portsmouth Action Field Gun Display there’s something to wow all ages.
“Trade space is filling up, so I would encourage any local or national traders who want to be at this year’s event to contact the Showground for more information.”
