This weekend, Sunday 4 June, the Rutland County Show welcomed 1000s of visitors to Rutland Showground.
The annual event, which takes place in Oakham, the county town of Rutland, saw visitors of all ages flock to the vast agricultural event to enjoy rural exhibitions and displays, games, rides, animal encounters, food and drinks, a livestock auction, live music and so much more.
It is hosted by Rutland Agricultural Society, which was established in 1831 to promote agriculture in the county, and held at Rutland Showground - a venue that plays host to a range of events throughout the year, from Rutland Music Festival to grassroots football and rugby fixtures.
The 189th iteration of the Rutland County Show was sponsored by local companies, MHR and Newton Fallowell, who had the event and show rings named after them, hosting a range of rural events - from ferreting to FMX motocross bike displays and scurry racing to scent demos.
On top of show sponsors, one of Oakham Nub News's sponsors - {my}Dentist - was also in attendance, meeting and greeting visitors and handing out information packs about their new practice on Maresfield Road. Find out more here.
The emergency services were also in attendance, running a meet and greet and recruitment drive.
The horticulture tent was something to behold:
Local sellers also touted their wares, provided free tasters and chatted to attendees.
The Grainstore bar were also providing the goods, as well as live music from RAW The Band, McGoo, Stellify Music, HOYTE, JADED and EAGA Gospel Choir, who were incredible.
The one-day event went off with a bang and saw many satisfied farmers, producers, creatives, musicians and attendees heading home happy at the end of the day.
The 190th Rutland County Show will take place on 2 June 2024, so watch this space...
