Gransden Show
Saturday 25 September 2027
Show Field, Caxton Road, Great Gransden, Cambridgeshire(SG19 3AW)
Gransden Show began in 1816 as something quite different: the Great Gransden Farmers' Book Society, a lending library for local farmers. By 1891 it was judging livestock and root crops in competition, and the agricultural show it became is still a fixture on the Show Field at Great Gransden in Cambridgeshire, even as fewer country shows are held across the UK. Classes cover horses and ponies, goats, pigs, sheep and cattle of rare, native and commercial kinds, plus pigeons, poultry, produce and homefare, with special classes for children. There are trade stands, refreshments, children's entertainments and a Food Fayre, and you can park for nothing in the neighbouring field.

The show's accessibility notes (dated 2018) welcome assistance dogs in the Food Hall but not in the Livestock Lines, for safety, and ask that dogs are never left in a car unattended. The show hasn't published rules for other dogs in the marquees, food areas or livestock lines.
Assistance dogs are welcome in all areas by law.
