The 73rd Kenilworth Show was a resounding success as thousands flocked to the agricultural event at Stoneleigh Park near Coventry on Saturday.

Considered to be the largest one-day agricultural show in the region, the Kenilworth Show attracts visitors from across the UK to watch livestock parades, animal shows and motorbike displays.

The event is organised by Kenilworth and District Agricultural Society (KADAS).

This year saw a number of new features including a new education area and charity dog show. There was also an expanded countryside area.

The main ring attractions featured the Bold Dog Lings with their thrilling motorbike displays, a dog and duck show demonstrating the art of working dogs, Warwickshire Hunt and Beagles and a grand parade of livestock.

Charlie Weetman, director of the Kenilworth Show, said: “We were delighted to welcome thousands of people along to the show, including a large number of first time visitors.

“The show has grown so much in the past few years, but the aim is always to give visitors a good understanding of what rural and country life is all about, in a fun and interesting way. Our new education area certainly played a big part in helping us to do that.

“I’m proud of everyone associated with Kenilworth and District Agricultural Society and the Kenilworth Show for the immense efforts they’ve made over the last year and would like to thank everyone joining us for being part of the day.”
