Taking place on Saturday 18 August, the annual Gosforth Show is a celebration of local culture, livestock and tradition in West Cumbria.

Despite the weather, the first ever show, held in 1876 attracted visitors from all over the local area. Today the event is still renowned for its traditional livestock and agricultural classes, but continues to evolve with exciting new additions each year.

For 2018 the Xtreme Stunt Team takes centre stage, entertaining showgoers in the main ring with one of the most unique and exciting motorcycle stunt shows and cycle bike displays in the world. Expect smiles from all ages, with an appearance from Jason the Juggling Jester, children’s sports and games, vintage machinery and Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling championships.

Terrier racing, dog shows and the judging of hundreds of cattle, sheep, poultry and horses will take place throughout the day, including another new addition for 2018, the inaugural ridden Heavy Horse class. Meanwhile the tents will showcase an impressive array of classes, in everything from horticulture and handicrafts to local history. Browse the local trade stands, tuck into some good food and let your hair down with live music at the bar.

As is tradition, Gosforth Show looks set to be another great day out for the whole family.
