The 180th Show will take place on Wednesday 4th & Thursday 5th August 2010
Main attractions for the 2010 show have been confirmed. In the centre ring will be the Royal Artillery Motorcycle Display Team or Flying Gunners, the display combines breathtaking high speed double crossovers from four corners of the arena when closing speeds may reach 90mph, which shows off the individual and combined skills including amazing feats of balance, machine control, team work and courage. The ever popular Titan the Robot is also back, performing on the Village Green twice a day. The 8ft singing dancing robot is a sight that once seen is never forgotten and it draws people back again and again. (Times to be confirmed)
Over almost two centuries the face of farming has changed beyond recognition, and although the industry is still in depression, Bakewell Show - known as the Little Royal - has gone from strength to strength, building a well-deserved reputation as the friendliest show in Britain.
Organised by the Bakewell Agricultural & Horticultural Society, which has it’s roots in that first meeting of farmers and landowners, Bakewell Show is one of the oldest agricultural shows in the UK. It has battled through a number of crises from facing financial ruin in 1909 when the Dukes of Rutland and Devonshire agreed to underwrite the event ‘for the foreseeable future’, to the most recent foot-and-mouth outbreak, during which it was one of the few shows to go ahead, but without animals.
