We are excited to be supporting the 2026 Royal Cheshire County Show on 16th–17th June — two fantastic days celebrating British farming, food, livestock and rural life.

From the new agricultural layout and Cheshire Young Farmers taking centre stage, to the Farmers Market, machinery displays and the ever-popular Tug of War, there is something for everyone.

JB from the auction room will also be there so come and say hello and meet the team 👋

We will be there both days!

We look forward to seeing clients, friends and the wider farming community there!
