Get ready for a celebration of rural life like no other! The Rutland Agricultural Society is thrilled to announce the 191st Rutland County Show, taking place on Sunday, June 1st, 2025, at the Rutland Showground. This beloved annual event promises a fun-filled day for the whole family, showcasing the very best of agriculture, food, and entertainment in Rutland.

Beyond the agricultural marvels, the Rutland County Show boasts a vibrant array of attractions to keep everyone entertained.  Thrill-seekers will be amazed by daring displays in the main ring, while little ones can delight in the wonders of the countryside through interactive exhibits and educational displays. Let loose and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the trade stands, brimming with local crafts, delicious food and drink producers, and everything in between.

The 191st show promises a cornucopia of entertainment options.  Hobby Show will showcase the talents of local artisans, while the ever-popular dog show provides a chance for your furry friends to strut their stuff.  Throughout the day, be captivated by live music performances and marvel at displays of rural crafts and skills. Don't miss the exhilarating sheep show, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for all ages.

The Rutland County Show is more than just an agricultural exhibition; it's a celebration of everything that makes Rutland special. It's a chance to meet local producers, discover hidden gems of the county, and savour the unique flavours of the region.
