Follow us on Facebook for more updates:

Well behaved dogs are welcome on all outside areas of the showground (not in the marquees).
They must be kept on leads at all times and you must clean up after them.

There will be watering stations all around the showground, and as the weather is forecast to be hot there will also be doggy paddling pools.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG IN YOUR CAR.

If you’re bringing your four-legged friend, why not take a look at our fun dog show!

Halifax Agricultural Society would like to thank our Platinum supporters for their generous assistance in putting on the show:

POULTRY SECTION

It is with regret that we have no other option but to cancel the Poultry & Egg Section for this year’s show due to the current ban on gatherings of Poultry and Waterfowl. This ban has been put in place by DEFRA/APHA and is due to continued outbreaks of Avian Influenza in the UK. Hopefully the Poultry will be back in 2023!

The Sheep Show

The Sheep Show is EDU-tainment at its best: A live stage show offering up to 4 x 30 minute shows a day. Presented in humorous kiwi style the show introduces 9 different breeds of sheep, each with a story to tell and are welcomed on to the stage by their own theme tune – for example ‘Lenny the Lincoln Long wool’ arrives to a great Bob Marley tune (very apt for a sheep that has natural dread locks). There is then a very informative shearing display and learning more about wool.

Then, just to add to this already humorous but educational show, the sheep then do The Sheep Show Shuffle – Yes! Dancing sheep!
