For over 200 years - 225 for Westmorland - agricultural shows have brought together communities, showcasing rural life while providing businesses a platform from which to trade.

Westmorland County Show has survived world wars, recessions, the Great British weather and the pandemic. Organisers are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the 2024 event.
The 225th Westmorland County Show promises to be another excellent day out. Following the resounding success last year, this year’s is being held over two days again, on Wednesday, September 11 and Thursday 12.
There is a limited capacity per day and tickets will only be on sale at the gate if still available. Livestock classes will be split across both days and the layout is being overhauled to make best use of the extensive showground.

A full programme of activities will be held on both days, including WI, Learning for Life, The Sheep Show, Vintage Tractors, forestry and craft demonstrations. However, some sections, as listed below, will be day specific.
