Went almost every year, always a great local show, but the costs of putting it on went too high. Still have some of the pictures of the stars that made appearances there over the years including Matt Skilbeck who was in Emmerdale Farm in the 1970's

yes like most things these days its the money,insurance ect what stops these great events happeing.... would be good to see it again even if it was a 1 off as the land is still there (no houses yet)..
