Rutland residents can win free tickets to attend the Rutland County Show this weekend.

HR, payroll, and finance specialist, MHR, has announced it is sponsoring the Rutland County Show for the second year running, cementing its commitment to local community and sustainability initiatives. 

Now in its 189th year, the Rutland County Show serves as a microcosm of the British countryside, showcasing the best of rural living, from livestock to machinery.

In addition to animal showings and horticultural displays, attendees can enjoy scurry racing competitions, and a motorbike show from the UK's number one display team.

MHR CEO, Anton Roe, said: "With a strong connection to the Rutland County Show and the local area, we are pleased to provide a commitment to such a fantastic occasion for the second year in a row. As the challenges of the last few years have undoubtedly been difficult for businesses in the local area, it is more important than ever to support our community, and the Rutland County Show shines a worthy spotlight on local traditional, produce and processes."
