Bromham Show 2024 Our welcome to you

We’re very much looking forward to seeing you all for this year’s Bromham Show, which takes place on Sunday 14th July 2024 on the Village Hall playing fields.

This will be the 75th Bromham Show and as ever, there are lots of attractions and events for all ages. After last year’s amazing The Rocket’s Junior Motorcycle Team, we carry on the two-wheel theme in 2024, with the exciting BMX Show team displaying their aerial skills. We hope that you, your family and friends will come along to enjoy all the fun.

Highlights this year include:

BMX Bike Show

Falconry/Birds of Prey Flying Display

Pacesetters Dog Agility Display

Children’s Multiple Sports Challenge

Parade of Classic Cars

Bromham Youth Football Match

Inspire Performing Arts Dance Group

There should be a real carnival atmosphere, as there will also be Bouncy Castles, Punch & Judy and side-shows around the arena, a large ‘village’ of Craft Stalls and exhibits on display from nearly 90 classes. We encourage everyone to enter some exhibits – your chance to show produce, photographs, paintings, hand made crafts and many more – details are enclosed in this brochure.

We’d like to express our appreciation to the organising team, our Sponsors, the Friends of Bromham Show (FOBS) and all those who have assisted in putting on an event for which the village can be truly proud.

If you like what you see at the show and have a few spare hours to support us, we’d be delighted to hear from you, either before our 2024 event, or on the day itself. To find out more about how you can get involved, please contact David Webb on 01234 822663.

Finally, remember to reserve Sunday 14th July 2024 in your diary for the 75th Bromham Show – as ‘Bromham’s Community Event of the Year’ provides a great, value for money day out.

We look forward to seeing you there.
