Back Celebrating Agriculture at its Best

The Northumberland County Show is a much loved traditional agricultural event. After a two year absence due to Covid, the Show’s comeback on Bank Holiday Friday kicks off the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend in style. Over 30,000 visitors will flock to the showground at Bywell, near Stocksfield to enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of this fun-filled day out.

New Chairman, Mark Scandle, believes The Northumberland County Show and other agricultural events have a unique role in promoting communication and bonds across communities. Mark explains, “The Show gives everyone the chance to get up close to animals, talk to farmers and food producers, find out more about where their food comes from while enjoying a brilliant day out. It creates connections to rural life, food production and ultimately, the land that sustains us all, and it is an honour and a privilege to be part of that process.”
