The 2025 Royal Cheshire County Show Marks its 187th Year with Record-Breaking Crowds and Competitions
The Royal Cheshire County Show returned for its 187th year, with glorious sunshine and over 80,000 visitors enjoying one of the most successful shows to date. From agricultural showcases to family entertainment, the event once again celebrated the very best of Cheshire’s countryside and community.
This year’s show featured over 3,000 animals, a packed programme in the Horse Show and Sheep Show rings, and an impressive Food Hall with live cooking demonstrations that delighted food lovers throughout the day.
The Main Ring was a true highlight, hosting a spectacular parade that drew the crowds. The incredible Stannage Stunt Team wowed audiences with their thrilling performances, and the much-loved annual Young Farmers’ parade brought colour, energy and creativity to the arena, with their brilliant floats.
There were also record-breaking entry numbers in both the Light Horse competition classes and the Egg class—showcasing the passion and dedication of this year’s competitors.
A huge thank you goes out to all the traders, exhibitors, and everyone who entered the competitions for helping make the 2025 Show such a memorable event. The sun shone, the crowds came, and the atmosphere was fantastic—rounded off with music and entertainment in the evening as part of Late at the Show.
Planning is already underway for an even bigger and better event in 2026!
