The Staffordshire County Show will make its return to the Staffordshire County Showground this May.

The popular annual agricultural show will be held on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 May, during the half term week.

The show offers something for visitors of all ages, with this year’s main attraction as the exhilarating Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display Team. Youngsters will delight in watching them perform gravity defying stunts and enjoy all the other attractions from riding on the narrow-gauge steam railway to traditional attractions such as Punch & Judy and donkey rides. 

In the Country Pursuits Area, the West Lancs Dog Display Team will perform, watch them jump through hoops of fire, race through tunnels and walk the high plank. Visitors can also see Birds of Prey, the Ferret Roadshow, the Sheep Show and Giant Tortoises. 

A packed Main Ring programme includes the Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display Team, The Mounted Games, Show Jumping and Parade of Hounds (Wednesday), the Young Farmer’s Floats (Thursday), as well as the Grand Parade of Livestock. 

At the heart of this traditional county show is livestock with over a thousand cattle, sheep, pigs and goats and over fifteen hundred horses and ponies. 

There are several competitions and shows within the show including the sheep shearing and wool handling, the farriery competition, watch blacksmiths make and fit shoes to the horse, the guinea pig and rabbit Shows, as well as the Bee & Honey Show. In addition, the Dog Show will attract around 2,000 dogs. 

Shopaholics will delight in browsing over four hundred trade stands and the Food Hall continues to expand, selling a range of local produce.
