WELCOME TO STANHOPE SHOW Our show in 2018 will be a celebration of agriculture and country life providing entertainment, spectacle and fun with something for everyone. Enjoy the classes and attractions in the main arena which nestles amongst the magnificent Weardale fells, providing a most spectacular backdrop to our show. New for this year we welcome competitors and exhibitors who have not taken part before and our inaugural Fell Race being organised by Durham Fell Runners under the FRA licence. We welcome curators from Beamish Museum who are bringing a vintage 1950’s caravan celebrating the removal and rebuilding of Spain’s Field Farm. Call in and reminisce with them. They would love to hear of your memories of farming in 1950’s Weardale. Enjoy the shopping festival in our marquee and trade stands. Treat yourselves from the tempting array of food and drink available. But most of all let’s join together and celebrate Weardale at Stanhope Show 2018. Have a great weekend!

Stanhope Agricultural Show Schedule 2018

INDUSTRIAL SECTION HINTS AND TIPS Have you ever been to a show and thought “I can do better than that!” Well why not try your hand at entering our show? Every exhibitor, even the experienced ones started somewhere and it isn’t really anything to be scared of, you may surprise yourself and win a prize. Study the schedule carefully and choose which classes suit you best. All exhibits need an exhibition card which the secretary will send you after receiving your entries. Do not make any alterations to the front of the card as this will result in disqualification, but write your name and address on the back in the space provided, you do not need put your full address, name and village is suffice. Always look carefully at the schedule and check that your exhibits comply with the regulations set down for each class, (i.e. size and number). When several items are requested they should be as uniformly alike as possible in size , colour and shape Read the rules of entry carefully and abide by them. Try out new recipes and practice your entries for the show well in advance. Pack all items suitably so that they arrive safely, if possible take two, accidents do happen Allow plenty of time for staging your exhibits Give a thought to your presentation, good presentation may be the deciding factor if the competition is close Preserve Jars should be labelled with contents, date and year of making. Jams, jellies and marmalade may have either wax circle and cellophane top or a screw metal top which provides a good seal (No brand labels must be on display). Jars for pickles should have a solid, vinegar proof cover. Lemon curd should have wax circle and cellophane top. Wine and liqueur should be exhibited in clear bottles, filled to leave an air space of approx. 2.5cm (1”). A plastic top flanged cork should be used (for easy removal). Craft needlework and knitting should be all your own work and must not have been washed. For knitting classes attach the band or label from the wool used. Artwork needs to be your own work, with no name visible. Ensure that your work can be hung from the vertical board provided. For junior classes parents may inspire and encourage but the main effort should come from the child. Ensure exhibitions labels have the age of the competitor on. In floral art use only plant material, no artificial flowers or foliage allowed, but accessories are permitted. All arrangements will be view from the front only and any oversized arrangements will unfortunately not be judged. I hope this guide will help you to prepare for the show and if you are unsure about anything please contact us and we will try to help.

Stanhope Agricultural Show Schedule 2018

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL EXHIBITORS The organisers are naturally concerned for the safety of the public at the show and this is of paramount importance in relation to Public Liability Insurance and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 with additions and amendments. An Agricultural Show presents many difficult problems because of numbers of people and livestock moving around on a large site. In order to comply with legal and insurers requirements it is necessary to segregate, as far as possible, livestock from the general public. The Society has therefore appointed Stewards to supervise the movements of people and livestock around the Show Field at all times and THE DIRECTIONS OF THE STEWARDS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES. Should any exhibitor fail to comply with the instructions of the stewards, the Society will have no alternative but to remove that exhibitor’s entries from the Show Field and all fees paid and /or prizes won will be forfeit. This condition will be strictly enforced and no appeal will be considered.
