The Ennerdale Show is one of our long standing country fairs and it’s set to return this summer on Wednesday August 31 for its 109th year.

The traditional show takes place on the western edge of the Lake District National Park. Although the show is in a rural location it is easily accessible and benefits from a good location only a mile from the shore of Ennerdale Water and the wild Ennerdale Valley.

There is much to look forward to with a variety of traditional sports and past times of the area, such as sheep and cattle shows, equestrian events, dog demonstrations and poultry shows. Hound trailing is still well supported in West Cumbria, with four races throughout the afternoon; you can have a flutter with the local bookmakers who will be on the field.

There will be some fabulous vintage machinery on display and, of course, no local agricultural show would be complete without Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling which anyone can have a go at.

You can stay refreshed with a taste of locally brewed ale, wholesome Cumbrian food and ice cream.

There’s something for the whole family whether it’s getting involved in some sporting activities, browsing the stalls or watching demonstrations.
