Organisers of this year’s Cheshire County Show believe more than 80,000 visitors attended this year’s agricultural event.

The show was once again a bustling hive of activity as thousands of visitors, exhibitors and animals came together at the Tabley showground near Knutsford.

“Although the weather wasn’t as nice as last year visitors have still been out here in great spirits” said Nigel Evans, Executive Director of the Cheshire County Show. “Numbers of exhibitors and visitors are swelling. It is a showcase for the county and I think people recognise that and are hugely supportive.”

Despite a dreary weather forecast, the rain held off for most of the show and visitors actually spent much of the time with the sun on their backs.

Drawing in the crowds was the promise of an exciting two days full of death-defying stunts, famous faces and a celebration of all that is great and good about farming in Cheshire.
