On Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July Cirencester Park will once again be hosting the famous Cotswold Show and Food Festival.

This year the Show celebrates its 30th Anniversary and will feature an array of events and activities for visitors to enjoy.

Philippa Stagg, PR and Marketing Manager for the show, said: “There are over 200 trade stands, Traditional Rural Skills, Performing Arts, children's activities and much, much more.

“The ever-popular Cookery Theatre features some of the top Cotswolds chefs and menus and there will also be a cocktail masterclass.

“Elsewhere on the Showground is the World of Dogs – a whole area including agility courses, dog shows and racing. Even a Crufts-winning dancing dog!”

The Cotswold Show is known throughout the country as one of the best country shows, not least because of the fantastic array of animals that feature throughout.

Philippa continued: “Headlining the main arena we have Atkinson Action Horses – a fantastic equine stunt show from the team who have appeared in Poldark and Game of Thrones.

“Also new this year, the Return of the Black Stallion and Falconry Display – horses and falcons together!”

Last year the show weekend was right in the middle of the summer heatwave, and Philippa is hoping for a repeat of the beautiful weather this year but perhaps a little bit cooler.

She added: “It was very hot last year but we still had great attendance although, quite rightly, not so many dogs. We even managed to put a big screen up so visitors could watch England in the World Cup.

“It is a true family day. There is something for everyone including dogs! We support local charities with donations and free trade stands and try to work with local companies such as printers and sign writers.

“There's so much to see and do, it's hard to get it all done in one day – you might have to come back!”
