IN this edition of nostalgia, we will be looking at the local shows in our area throughout the years. Today, we are focusing on the Ennerdale Show.

The Ennerdale Show is a traditional Lakeland show which has been going for more than a century, it will celebrate its 116th year this year

We looked through our archives at the event which always attracts lots of livestock, crowds of people and promises a grand day out.

Enjoy the photos we have dug out of shows held over the years which will hopefully bring back lots of happy memories.

Activities take place all day based around the traditional sports and pastimes of the area.

These include the showing of sheep, horses, dogs and poultry, of all shapes and sizes.

Vintage machinery is on show and always proves popular - as does the hound trailing. Various races are held throughout the afternoon and people can have a flutter with the local bookmakers who are on the field.

Children’s sports and the more demanding fell races fill the programme in the early afternoon, these are open to anyone and entries are taken on the field.

Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling takes centre stage in the late afternoon and always attracts a big audience. Add to this the industrial and produce marquee, bursting with locally made and grown items.

There are amusements areas and refreshments to suit all tastes, from locally brewed ale to wholesome Cumbrian food and ice cream, making this a really enjoyable day out for all the family.

The craft stalls always bring in the crowds and showcase local talents and their skills.

The show is organised by a team of hardworking volunteers who are always delighted to see lots of people from far and wide enjoying everything on offer.
