The Leicestershire County Show Andrew Granger & Co were very happy to sponsor the Leicestershire County Show again this year, for the fourth year in a row Andrew Granger & Co were very happy to sponsor the Leicestershire County Show again this year, for the fourth year in a row. The two-day annual event which took place on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 August is organised by the Leicestershire Agricultural Society and describes itself as celebrating rural life with livestock, equine classes and a wide range of family entertainment. Andrew Granger & Co supported the event with sponsorship of £3,500 and had a stand situated by the main event ring supplying visitors with cream teas, a chance to win a £100 Joules voucher and time to discuss any property needs with their staff. Rupert Harrison, Director and Head of Rural for Andrew Granger & Co Ltd, said: “We were delighted to be supporting and present at this popular regional event again. “Having been a business within the county for 30 years we feel it’s important to help community events and groups where we can.
“Agriculture is still a huge part of this special county and it’s lovely to use this opportunity to celebrate all that it offers. “There was a superb turnout and thank you to those that took the time to come and say hello and have a cream tea with us.” Originally formed by a group of Leicestershire farmers as long ago as 1833, the Leicestershire Agricultural Show was designed to promote improvements in agriculture, share new farming techniques and exhibit new equipment. The same ideals still exist today, but with more competitions and attractions suitable for all the family – a real slice of country life where children and adults have a chance to get up close to farm animals.
The event takes place each year in August at The Showground, Market Harborough, LE16 7QX.
