What is the Cotswold Show?
The Cotswold Show is an annual jam-packed event which takes place in Cirencester Park for two days over the summer.
This year it will be taking place on Saturday, July 1 and Sunday, July 2 between 9am and 5pm.
It was founded in 1989 by The Earl Bathurst, who dreamed of creating an event for people from the countryside which was family friendly, educational and packed with entertainment.
More than 33 years later the show’s popularity continues to grow, seeing visitors from near and far enjoying a fun day out with their families.
This year there will be three arenas - the Bathurst Arena, the Apsley arena and the World of Dogs.
In the Bathurst Arena visitors can expect high energy performances from the Squibb Freestyle Biking Team, the REME Parachute Display Team and Ben Atkinson's Action Horses.
Meanwhile, in the Apsley arena an array of countryside activities will take place including gundog training and a falconry display.
In the World of Dogs enclosure the highly-anticipated dog show will take place and a demonstration from the Nuneaton Dog Club.
There will also a bounty of trade stands and food stalls to explore.
What is the Food Festival?
As well as all the exciting activities going on over the weekend, there will also be a section of the show dedicated to food.
This year there will be 40 producers in the food hall selling an array of treats including cheese, charcuterie, relishes, breads, cider and cakes.
The catering area will be full of picnic food including sausages, pizza, Thai and Greek food, burgers and fish and chips.
There will also be vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options too.
In the cooking theatre, visitors can watch local chefs, cooking instructors and mixologists, chop, cook and shake up a flavour storm.
