We are pleased to announce The London Championship Small
Livestock Show will be joining the East of England Autumn Show in
2011. In anticipation of this they will be appearing at this year’s
show to give us a taste of what to expect. Be sure to visit their
stand for more information.
There will be many displays of
traditional country life, including country crafts, as well as large
animal exhibits. Magnificent Shire horses, incorporated as part of
the Wisbech Shire Horse Show, will be dressed in their traditional
glory. There will also be the chance to see Pony Club show jumping
competitions, donkey driving and harness goats.
For those who prefer their animals
with a bark, there will be plenty of dog displays and classes
including ‘Scruffts’ (the Kennel Club’s search for the crossbreed of
the year), the final of the Burgess Supa Dog Agility Stakes, and
