Welcome to Penrith Show
The Penrith Agricultural Society was formed in 1833 with the Society promoting the first Penrith Show the following year. This took place on Friday, 26th September, the venue being a field adjoining Croft House, Penrith. Since then the Society has grown in size and prominence now operating from its current site at Brougham Hall Farm, (by kind permission of the late Mr A Helme) on the fourth Saturday in July each year, this year's show being on 24th July.
The Society's aim is to promote the good of agriculture and livestock breeding in and around Penrith, to promote British Food & Farming in general and the drawing together of town and country for their mutual benefit.
There is no doubt that Penrith Show has got all the ingredients for a great day out for everyone with a tremendous variation of main ring and static attractions.
Come and See – you may be surprised and delighted!!
Date for Penrith Show 2010: Saturday 24th July
Felix the Fast Tractor and the Twirling Tractor now on sale!
Farmer Brougham and his dog Beacon are Penrith Show's mascots who annually appear to promote the show via the media and on signage in and around the town of Penrith.
Created in 2008 from a joint initiative with Cumbria College of Art in Carlisle, our mascots have dramatically changed the way the show markets itself. Graham Harper from the Art College originally came up with the idea and it was him that Farmer Brougham was created.
This year we are bringing him, and his dog, to life, appearing in a book created by the local author Catherine Cannon of Felix the Fast Tractor fame.
