SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO
The city of Perth is preparing to roll out the green carpet as country comes to town for the 155th annual Perth Show.
The agricultural, equestrian, food and fun extravaganza is set to take place at the city’s South Inch on Friday and Saturday, August 4 and 5.
And organisers are promising “one of the best shows ever” as the two-day event lines up something for everyone.
Thousands are expected to visit the agricultural showcase which turns the spotlight on the area’s vital farming sector. And with one of the best lineups of prime livestock on parade, Perth Show is sure to prove a lure for animal lovers and farming folk alike.
Attractions include one of the country’s finest line-ups of would-be champion horses, donkeys, goats, cattle and sheep. Over 1200 head of livestock will compete in 340 classes while other show supporters vie for prizes in cooking and handcraft.
And throughout the two days, trade stands, sideshows, entertainment, activities, children’s playground, music, parades, food and fun all add to the vibrancy of this annual crowdpleaser which is now the third largest of its type in Scotland.
This year Perth Show has secured a prestigious double as it prepares to host two national cattle shows - the second National Highland Cattle Gathering and the Scottish National Simmental Show.
And both look certain to attract the country’s largest gatherings of the popular breeds this year.
