'A great day out' - Final preparations under way for Newport Show 2025
Final preparations are being made for the return of Newport Show next week.
Touted as Shropshire’s 'best one-day show', Newport Show is set to return to Chetwynd Deer Park on Saturday, July 12.
Each year, the agricultural show draws in visitors from around the country, who flock to Shropshire for a day of family entertainment, fantastic food and celebrity guests.
This year, the show will welcome author and broadcaster Juliet Sear who is known for being ITV's This Morning's resident baker.
She will be joined by Shropshire local and Great British Bake Off contestant Nicky Laceby as well as a host of top chefs, foodies and wine experts from across Shropshire in this year’s Festival of Food area.
For the first time this year, the show will also have a country sports area, offering visitors the chance to watch a range of country sports in action and even try their hand at some of them.
The jam-packed schedule also features live music and entertainment from Urban Out Steppers dance group and the Mountain Bike Aerial Display (M.A.D.) team.
President David Jones said that the show - which will be celebrating its 135th birthday this year - is now a "well-oiled machine".
He said: "It's a fun day out for the family, we have a Lancaster bomber flyover, celebrity chefs, Bob Champion coming with the Shetland Pony Grand National.
"Lots of activities and a great day out - and it looks like it's going to be great weather as well."
