ORGANISERS of the Royal Cheshire County Show are promising this year's event will be 'bigger and better than ever' as it celebrates its 185th anniversary.
Taking place at the Tabley Showground on June 20 and 21, the event will showcase some of Cheshire's finest agricultural and rural heritage.
Away from the superb produce and livestock on show, there will be activities and performance to enchant and captivate visitors across the two days.
One highlight this year will be the 'Extreme Bike Battle' - a heart-stopping display of stunt riding which promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
With performances scheduled throughout the day, visitors can witness the incredible skills of these talented riders as they defy gravity and push the limits of what's possible on two wheels.
New for this year is 'Live! At the Show!' - a showcase of music performances boasting a line-up including 70s and 80s chart-toppers Odyssey, Eurovision Song Contest winner Katrina (of Katrina and the Waves), 80s soul-pop favourites Five Star and boy band Brother Beyond.
There will be free access to the concert, which will be held on a specially built stage, for everyone attending on Tuesday, June 20.
Anyone holding or purchasing an annual membership of the Cheshire Agricultural Society will be able to access both days of the county show and concert.
For foodies, world-renowned chefs Jean-Christophe Novelli, Ellis Barrie, Brian Mellor and Mark Price will be on hand to show-off their culinary expertise with live demonstrations, tastings and talks.
This year's event will also feature the incredible horsemanship of the Atkinson Action Horses, renowned for their thrilling displays.
This professional stunt and trick-riding team has captivated audiences across the UK and beyond with their impressive performances.
The team comprises talented riders and horses, showcasing precision riding, high-speed stunts, and breathtaking horsemanship, all accompanied by an exhilarating musical score.
A Cheshire Show spokesperson said: "This year's show is set to surpass all expectations, as it presents an unparalleled display of Cheshire's rich and varied agricultural and rural heritage, making it bigger and better than ever before.
"The Royal Cheshire County Show also presents an unparalleled opportunity for businesses to showcase their products and services to a receptive and enthusiastic audience from both the agricultural community and the general public.
"Whether you are a returning exhibitor or new to the show, now is the time to secure your trade stand space and connect with your target audience.
"With a variety of high-traffic areas, including the Market of Makers, the Farmers Market, and many other bustling sections of the showground, we can help you choose the most appropriate location for your trade stand to maximize visibility and engagement."
Show director Rob Davenport added: "In honour of the 185th anniversary of the Royal Cheshire County Show, we are thrilled to present the most spectacular event yet.
"With a host of new and exciting attractions, along with exclusive performances, join us for an unforgettable celebration!"
