New Show Field Plan

Bellingham Show & Country Festival

Dear Supporters of Bellingham Show 2017 is a very exciting year for the North Tyne & Redesdale Agricultural Society. Established in 1842, 2017 see’s us celebrating our 175th anniversary of the first show. Building on the success of the last three years and the increasing support and interest shown by traders and exhibitors we have eventually outgrown our site. So with mixed feelings, the decision has been taken to move to a new field to host the show. Some sadness felt as we lose the quirky feel, the unusual shape and terrain of the old field but massive opportunity for growth, safety and the ability to bring all the activities into one field mean exciting times lie ahead. Last year we continued to build on the great success of the previous 3 years and thank you once again for your generous support. 2017 is looking to be just as good if not even better than 2016. Bellingham Show and Country Festival prides itself in offering a fantastic day out for all the family with something for all ages and interests. We have the traditional sheep, baking, craft, dog and horse events alongside, woodland skills, alpacas, wrestling, live bands…the list is huge! We have a great marketing campaign underway; press releases, social media, website, adverts and roadside advertising will all be used to full effect to ensure that when it comes to the end of August, everyone knows about and is going to Bellingham Show and Country Festival. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the last 175 years who have worked behind the scene’s to make the show happen as well as the people of the North Tyne & Redesdale community who come along and attend and support the show. We hope you will continue to support the show, we are justifiably proud of this event and hope you will agree once again to become a part of this celebration of rural life.
