This is what you missed at the THE NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY SHOW on BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY 26th MAY 2008


Rockin Horse Stunt Show

Let the Rockin' Horse Equestrian Stunt Team take you to the edge.

Coming from the Russian Cossack school of tricks and stunt riding and with 20 years of experience world wide, they are coming to the 2008 County Show to give us all something to remember.

The trust between man and horse is taken to the very extreme and we will watch as they climb under the belly of the horse at full speed. Stand in the saddle of 3 horses at full speed, change horses in full gallop. While you bop to the fantastic tunes, hold onto your heart and onto your hat as you watch the thrills and speed of this fantastic act.

Dakota Memorial Flypast

RAF Battle Of Britain Memorial Fly Past Featuring The SpitFire

The original purpose of the Memorial Flight was to help celebrate the Allied victory and the anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

It has since become a flying memorial to all members of the Royal Air Force who lost their lives during the War. We are honoured to have the SpitFire flypast at the Northumberland County Show 2008
