2013 Melplash Show - Thursday 22nd August

The Showcase for West Dorset farmers & food producers in Bridport, Dorset

The Melplash Agricultural Show takes place at the Showground, West Bay, Bridport on Thursday 22nd August 2013.   Attracting around 18,000 visitors a year from town and country, it is no surprise that it is regarded as the South West’s Premier one day Agricultural Show, and is known by regular visitors as the ‘friendly’ Show.

Having not lost its original roots, the Melplash Show still remains today a showcase for local farmers, producers, growers and craftsmen in the area.  Our 2013 show will as always host a great selection of livestock as well as numerous horse, pony and donkey classes to see and compete in.  Alongside this will be the opportunity to enter the many horticultural, floral, home produce and handicraft classes.  Schedules for all classes will be available in May and can be obtained from the Show Office or downloaded from the Show website.

Our Main Ring entertainment this year will be Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display Team - Honda's official and the UK's number 1 freestyle motorcross display team.  In addition we will also be welcoming back the Heavy Horses who will be providing a display in the main ring at lunch time.  There is also going to be a couple of surprise guests around the Showfield - Professor Crump and Sheridan the Sheep Dog- who we are sure will keep everyone amused!!

With the cookery theatre, country pursuits arena and over 300 trade stands from local food, crafts to heavy machinery there is plenty to interest everyone.  Applications for Trade Stand space including the very popular food hall are now available.  To keep up to date with all the plans for the Show sign up for the Show’s Newsletter or join the Melplash Agricultural Society on Facebook or Twitter.
