Costwold Show

The Cotswold Show and Country Fair - A weekend of fun for all the family. Below is a press release that was issued before the 2005 event.

This year’s Suzuki Cotswold Show and Country Fair will once again take place in the beautiful setting of Cirencester Park. The Show will be held on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th July 2005 and is set to be bigger and better than ever with events and attractions to suit the whole family.

This will be the 16th year that the Show has been running and it promises a wealth of new attractions including camel racing, chariot racing, walking with wolves and a 60th anniversary commemoration of VE Day and VJ Day.

Favourite attractions and events will also be returning, including the very popular Cotswold Life Food Village, the dog agility contest and the Suzuki off-road driving experience. Suzuki Motors are the main sponsors of the show and with the support of the Cirencester dealership - Pebley Beach, Lord Apsley and Claudia Wilson (the main organisers of the Show) believe this year will be the best yet.

Speaking about the event, Mrs Wilson said: “Over the years, the Suzuki Cotswold Show and Country Fair has established itself as a firm favourite in the annual show calendar. This year, we are appealing to a wide variety of visitors from throughout the region, but in particular, we want to attract local families back to the Show. There will be entertainment for children of all ages and at only £18 for a family ticket, we are sure they will find it great value for money.”

Lord Apsley continued “We haven’t forgotten our pledge to promote the rural way of life in a positive way, but we recognise that we need to broaden the Show’s appeal if we are to attract more visitors. By expanding and diversifying the number of events over the two days, we hope to lift the profile of the Show and increase ticket sales, which in turn will benefit local charities. This year’s camel racing and chariot racing should do just that and I for one am looking forward to seeing these different and unusual events!”

Lord Apsley was keen to point out that there will still be many of the traditional stalls and shows that capture the spirit and traditions of the countryside, such as the Gun Dog competitions and the Vintage Tractor and Steam Engine displays and with over 200 trade stands around the Park there will be plenty of chances to sample and buy the best that the Cotswolds has to offer.

Ticket prices start at just £8 per adult, with a family ticket for four only £18. Tickets can be purchased online or from outlets across the region.
