The story

Westmorland County Show in Crooklands

A one-day agricultural show at Crooklands near Kendal that concentrates livestock judging, show jumping and countryside crafts into a single intense session rather than a multi-day event. Herdwick sheep and Fell ponies anchor breed classes tied to the surrounding Lake District landscape, while food halls, sheepdog trials and a funfair round out a day that draws visitors well beyond the farming community itself.

The Westmorland County Agricultural Society stages a single day of competition at Crooklands, near Kendal, that ranks among the largest one-day agricultural shows in the north of England.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike most British county shows that run over two or three days, Westmorland compresses its full programme, cattle, sheep and horse classes, terrier racing, vintage machinery and craft competitions, into one single day at the Lane Farm showground

02

The mystery stays covered

That format forces an unusually dense schedule where several rings run simultaneously, giving the show a compact, high-tempo feel rare among agricultural events of its size

03

The city starts moving

The Herdwick sheep classes carry particular local weight since the breed is closely tied to Lake District fell farming, and the show's origins with an eighteenth-century agricultural society give it a working pedigree many newer shows lack
