Winchcombe Country Show

The 69th Winchcombe Country Show will be held at Winchcombe Senior School Playing Fields on Bank Holiday Monday 27 August 2018 (12noon to 5:50pm) Come and join us for a fantastic day out for all the family.  There will be a traditional flower show, with many prize winning exhibits to see, a wide range of entertainment, a variety of dog demonstrations, local foods to sample and lots of stalls selling local crafts and gifts.

The annual procession through Winchcombe will start at 11,30am from the Abbey Field Community Centre in Back Lane.  There will be vintage tractors, fancy dress contestants and the Happenstance Border Morris Dancers.  The procession will arrive at the show site for the opening of the show at 12. 00 noon.

The Winchcombe Country Show is a traditional country show with the Flower Show at its heart.  There will be many classes in the show including floral displays, arts, crafts, photography, wine, cookery and preserves with over 50 cups to win.

This year’s main event will be an incredible gymnastic team called Parkour Live.  This amazing group show will show what is humanly possible using body power alone.  Their performance of ninja and catlike movements is mind blowing.  Imagine Ninja warriors, James Bond stunts and Spider-Man rolled into one. That is Parkour Live.

Alongside our main event, there will be a wide range of entertainments for everyone.  This will include a traditional Punch and Judy Show, face painting, street entertainment, bungee jumping and much, much more.
