The sun shone brightly and the Robert
Brown Showfield filled up quickly as
the 169th Sedgefield Show opened on
Saturday 10 August. It was another
successful show with something for
everyone in the exhibitions of
livestock, judging of produce and
numerous demonstrations from
taekwondo to beekeeping.
The first Sedgefield Show was held on
4 October 1859 as local farmers
established an annual show to
promote their livestock and produce
and promote the prosperity of
Sedgefield.
The Show has gone from strength to
strength with events each year with
the exceptions of the Foot and
Mouth outbreak and 2 years of
Coronavirus.
The huge number of volunteers is
essential to the successful
operation, not just on Show Day but
throughout the whole year. Thank
you to all the team for bringing it
together and continuing to celebrate
agriculture and country life - it is a
highlight of the summer.
Thank you to Paul Heasman for the
