Our welcome to you

It was great to be back in 2022 with the Bromham Show. The two-year gap for the Covid Pandemic clearly didn’t dampen your enthusiasm, as you turned out in large numbers to enjoy the afternoon which included a wide variety of entertainment around the Show field.

This year’s Show takes place on Sunday 9th July and we hope that you, your family and friends will come along to enjoy all the fun. We have several new Central Arena Attractions for you this year, with entertainment and involvement for all ages.

We are delighted to have on show:

The Rockets, Children’s Motorcycle Display Team

King Don, Caribbean Steel Drums Battle of Britain Memorial Flypast – 2.00pm

Children’s Sports Challenge Parade of Classic Cars

Bromham Youth U10’s Football Match Line Dancing

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 100 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.

Our organising team needs additional members to help ensure the future success of Bromham Show. 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 the 2023 Show or on Show day itself. To find out more about how you can get involved, please contact David Webb on 01234 822663.

Finally, please remember to reserve Sunday 9th July 2023 in your diary for the 74th Bromham Show – it provides a great ‘value for money’ day out, with free entry for pedestrians.

We look forward to seeing you there.

"... Sometimes since l've been in the garden l've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden –in all the places...
