Prize Winning British Livestock

The core events on which the Society has built its reputation will be back in style including the magnificent dairy and beef cattle. The Supreme Champions and Best of Breed winners take centre stage in the Ardingly Ring, proudly displayed by their owners and stockmen.  These parades sponsored by NFU Mutual Insurance - Ardingly, represent the Best of British Livestock and are certainly one of the most important highlights of this premier agricultural Show.

Piggy Pranks in the Pig Village

Piggy Pranks is a highly entertaining competition, which involves an obstacle course and audience participation is actively encouraged!

The Pig Village features the best of British pigs and the British Pig Association are planning to have their stand “Pedigree Pork” in the Village.

Hound Show

Visitors to the Show have always flocked to the Hound Show to soak up the ambience of a centuries old countryside tradition.  The hounds come from all over England and each pack has its own distinctive livery, which includes hunt buttons and coloured collars.

Rabbits and Poultry

As well as displays of the best in the area, visitors to the Show will have the opportunity to purchase rabbits and poultry for keeping and breeding.

At the Sheep Show you can find out exactly what goes on to produce a woolly jumper in this action packed show that includes sheep shearing and a wealth of information about the different breeds of sheep.
