Etal Show

Sunday 5 September 2027
Etal Showground, Etal, Northumberland(TD12 4TL)

Etal Show is a village horticultural show and country fair held on the first Sunday of September at the showground in Etal, on the Ford and Etal Estate just off the A697 in north Northumberland. Its 89th show is set for Sunday 5 September 2027. It describes itself as one of the oldest one-day country fairs in the North East. At its heart is the main marquee of open exhibition classes: fruit, vegetables and flowers, baking and preserves, needlework, handicrafts, art, photography, dressed walking sticks and children's classes, which opens to visitors once judging is done. Around the field there is a companion dog show with entries on the day, live music and displays, a craft tent, food stalls, beer and tea tents, vintage vehicles and children's activities, and the day ends with a raffle and auction in the main marquee.
