“Don’t forget to have a turn at line dancing on the Saturday and Sunday…..Chelsea Marriner is back with her dogs to provide some brilliant entertainment.
“Apart from all the entertainment, we will have over 300 stalls from Arts & Crafts to machinery. Make sure you have a wonder around…..lots of food choices as well.”
This year’s show bar will be run by local brewery Hellertau Brewery.
