Dalston Show

About

Dalston Show returns on 10th August offering plenty for everyone to enjoy. We will once again welcome all our supporters both old and new from the local community and those who travel from far and wide to enjoy our Show.

We anticipate a good turnout of Horse and Livestock breeders from throughout Cumbria, North of England and South West Scotland, together with the many families who enter almost 200 classes in the Industrial section.

New Classes for 2024: Ridden Heavy Horse, Young Handler Heavy Horse, and Concours D’Elegance.

Over 80 trade stands will fill the field with colour as they display their wares on sale or promote the work of their organisations. There will be plenty to eat and drink from our various caterers and speciality bars.

Our reputation for fun entertainment will hopefully be maintained with lots going on in the Main Ring, including Extreme Bike Battle, Terrier Racing and the ever-popular Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling. The day ends with Raughton Head Young Farmers and their challenge for this year.

That’s not all, as there will also be other entertainers during the day, including Elton Wrong, Mighty Smith, Zoobidoo, the zoo that comes to you and back for a 2nd year Dalston based Jordyn Louise Dance and music by the Border Concert Band.
