An action-packed day full of farming and family fun is promised for all those visiting Loweswater Show this weekend.

The 2019 event had to be cancelled at the last minute after wild weather wreaked havoc on the show field.

The committee has been working hard to ensure this year's show - the first since 2018 - will be well worth the wait.

Secretary Rachel Moore said: "We are really looking forward to show day – everyone has a sense that this is a much-needed show, a sign of normality returning after such an odd few years.

"We hope that many will come to join us on show day to experience a proper day out, in the countryside with friends, neighbours and visitors alike."

The show will be held on Sunday, opposite New House farm, from 10am.

There are lots of events happening throughout the day, including horse, sheep, goat and dog (both pet and working animals) classes.

There will also be hound trails, sheep dog trials, Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling, a bird of prey static display from local Fell Falconry, fell races and the popular vintage display.

Alongside all this there will be many trade stands, an Industrial Marquee and also one for crafts.

There will also be plenty of catering options and a beer tent selling, amongst other things, the very local Loweswater Gold.

Cockermouth Mechanics Brass Band and Lucchini’s ice creams will also be there.

"Loweswater Show is extremely fortunate to have a committed group of volunteer committee members who, year on year, give their time to create a very special country show," said Rachel.

"We welcome the strong local presence of exhibitors and competitors and equally embrace all visitors to the Lake District.

"We want to demonstrate the very best of country life, and our showfield in the stunning Lorton valley has everything a visitor could ask for."
