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.
The Ashbourne Show has been going strong since 1881 yes, you read that right! I believe this was my 10th returning year, and the entire team is simply amazing.

The recent I Do Wedding Exhibition was a celebration of creativity, talent, and collaboration, providing couples with endless inspiration for planning their dream weddings. As a magician and emcee specializing in weddings, I had the privilege of being part of this vibrant event. Partnering with Knockerdown Wedding and Events , one of the standout venues, I experienced firsthand how strong venue-supplier relationships can leave a lasting impression. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we worked together to create an unforgettable experience. Bringing the Venue and Magic Together Knockerdown Wedding and Events is a stunning countryside venue, offering a perfect mix of elegance and warmth. Known for its inviting “home away from home” feel, the venue creates a relaxed yet organized environment for couples to envision their big day. Their friendly and professional team was instrumental in coordinating with us suppliers, ensuring the event ran smoothly from start to finish. As a wedding magician and emcee, my role was to infuse excitement and joy into the exhibition. Knockerdown made it seamless for me to align my entertainment with their vision. Together, we wanted couples to feel that their own wedding could be as effortless, enjoyable, and magical as the event we were showcasing. Enhancing Guest Engagement Through Magic At the exhibition, my focus was on creating moments of wonder and connection. Magic is an incredible icebreaker, and I strategically performed in high-traffic areas to surprise and delight guests. This encouraged couples to linger, interact, and explore the other offerings with a sense of excitement. By weaving magical moments into Knockerdown’s beautifully curated spaces, I was able to subtly highlight the venue’s charm in an organic way. Couples were left with a lasting impression of how effortlessly magic, ambiance, and hospitality could come together to elevate their wedding experience. The Power of Supplier Collaboration One of the event’s standout features was the seamless coordination between Knockerdown Wedding and Events and the suppliers. Their team’s dedication to supporting suppliers made all the difference, allowing us to focus on what we do best. The result? A cohesive, inspiring experience for attendees. Knockerdown’s ethos of providing a “home away from home” resonated perfectly with couples seeking a relaxed yet meticulously organized wedding setting. Their attention to detail and commitment to collaboration ensured that every element—whether venue design, entertainment, or supplier offerings—flowed harmoniously. Testimonial from Knockerdown Wedding and Events The team at Knockerdown shared their thoughts on the collaboration: “We absolutely loved having Eddie Young join us at the I Do Wedding Exhibition!

When efforts are unified, the result is a day that feels effortless, organized, and full of delightful surprises. For couples, this collaboration offers a glimpse of what’s possible: a wedding that’s not only well-coordinated but also brimming with personal, unforgettable touches.
