The Grand Parade will take centre stage amongst the main ring activities where the day’s prize winners will proudly parade giving the viewing public a wonderful opportunity to see the beautifully turned out exhibits including Alpacas, Cattle and Sheep. The main ring is delighted to announce the return of the Bolddog “Lings” Freestyle Team, Honda’s official and the UK’s number 1 motorcycle display team! Cyril the Squirrel and his Racing Terriers will be performing and are one of the country’s leading terrier display teams. These fantastic little dogs will keep you all entertained with their crazy antics.
