What an incredible day it was at the Ashbourne 133rd Show on 16/8/2025! It was an absolute pleasure to entertain over 12,000 guests amidst a spectacular display of rural life and entertainment.
The show truly had something for everyone, showcasing the best of agricultural heritage and community spirit. From the majestic shire horses and agile gun dogs to the charming sheep, cows, and goats, right down to our delightful feathered friends, the variety of animals on display was simply wonderful.
A huge highlight was the thrilling display by
JC Balls Dancing
JCB, which brought smiles and cheers from all corners of the showground. The numerous suppliers catering to both two-legged and four-legged friends ensured everyone had their needs met, adding to the festive atmosphere.
We were particularly impressed by the interactive demonstrations from traders like
Bayley's, who showed the younger generation how cows are milked. The attentiveness of both children and adults during this display was truly heartwarming.
Mertrux also showcased an amazing range of vehicles designed to assist with tasks both on and off the farm, while
BandB Tractors presented a vast array of vehicles to assist with farming and wider agricultural needs.
The dry wall demonstration was fascinating to see growing, and the many shows, judging, and learning opportunities about the great outdoors ensured there was something for everyone.
We extend immense gratitude for the amazing work by Andrea the Secretary, whose efforts contributed significantly to the success of the event. And it was truly heartwarming to see the smiling face of John, a dedicated steward, who welcomed us and made us feel like family. These personal touches truly make all the difference.
