This summer, the Nantwich Show celebrated 120 years. REBEKKA O’GRADY talks to both seasoned and newer competitors about what it’s like to take part
IT MAY only be one day of excitement, but it’s a busy year round job for Adrian Lawrence, of the Nantwich Agricultural Society and the many volunteers who make the Nantwich Show a success. Whether it’s ensuring the competition class timetables are correct to booking the thrilling entertainment for the main ring, no details go unchecked – and it’s this passion that makes the agricultural show such a success.
