Born on Aylsham's recreation ground in 1946, Aylsham Show is now a one-day agricultural show in Blickling Park, near Aylsham in Norfolk, drawing 14,000 to 17,000 people and staffed by more than 300 volunteers. Its proceeds have passed £1.1 million, given mostly to local good causes. Cattle have been shown here since 1952 and sheep since 1982, with Lincoln Reds and Herefords among the native breeds, horse classes taking in hunters and mountain and moorland ponies, and young handlers showing cattle. Around the field you'll find free activities in the Learn From The Land area, the Aylsham Flower Club marquee, a fun fair, a Food Market of mainly East Anglian producers and a picnic area by the lake. Under-17s get in free, parking is free and well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

Notes
The show says there will be an accessible viewing section next to the Main Ring. Blue badge holders should display the badge prominently or show a Forward Parking Letter, and the car parking team will try to give forward parking near the main entrance gate. A land train and golf buggies move disabled and less mobile visitors from the main entrance gate. There are no hard surfaces on the showground: walkways are mainly grass and some car parking is uneven, so take care with wheelchairs and mobility scooters, especially in wet weather. Mobility equipment can be hired from two Norfolk mobility centres and collected at the main admission gate on show day, but items may be limited, so book ahead. The show hasn't published details of accessible toilets.
