About this event
"The Nantwich Show has been an annual feature of the South Cheshire events calendar since 1897.
From humble beginnings as a very small cheese show in the grounds of St Joseph's School (now the site of Elim Church & Regents Park Business Centre) to the largest one-day agricultural day out in the UK, the Nantwich Show has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors and animals over the years.
Until 2019 the Show had only been cancelled three times, once during the Second World War, once due to Foot & Mouth and once in 2012 due to extreme weather.
Sadly, 2019 was to be the second cancellation due to the great British weather and thanks to Covid of course, 2020 and 2021 didn’t get out of the starting blocks.
The Nantwich Agricultural Society is the charity behind the Show, and for decades ran with just one paid member of staff and over 150 volunteers; a reason that was cited when we received the Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2016.
2019 would be the last year that the International Cheese Awards took place at the Showground as they have taken up residence at the Staffordshire Showground with a very successful launch event in October 2021.
Here we are in 2022 and it is all change. We have a new showground at Reaseheath College, new additions to our fabulous team of volunteers and a whole new-look to the event.
Wednesday 26 July is the big day and we are excited to be back in the organising seat, bringing in new ideas and welcoming a new focus of sustainability and innovation in farming."
