Wednesday 28thth November
The 106th Uppingham Fatstock Show!
Champion pigs, sheep and cattle are primped and preened for this event held in the Market Square.
Rutland farmers proudly showed off the best of their stock with the aim of encouraging people
to buy British and support the industry.
Taking place on Wednesday morning on Uppingham Market Place, there will be pens full of
livestock arriving at 7am, judging comences at 10am and the prize-giving will be at 11.30am.
Cancelled only by war and the two national out-breaks of the foot and mouth epidemic this is a
unique show being the only event of its kind in the UK still held in temporary penning in a
town market square. The regular weekly fatstock market finished in 1954, with the ending of
wartime controls, but the annual Fatstock Show has continued and remains one of the most
prestigious events in the town's calendar and is without a doubt "a jewel in Rutland's crown".
The show includes classes for cattle, sheep and pigs.
