Summary of
2010 show
2010 was a successful show as the weather was kind
to us. The sun shone & it did not rain. So visitor numbers were
up from previous years & lots of people came and had a good day
out. We had Cheshire dog display team as the main attraction and people
enjoyed their display with the dogs. The Fell Race was watched by
hundreds of people and it was an enjoyable event. There were lots of
stalls of every type for people to walk round and see also some craft
tents, which were busy. There were also lots of different breeds of
sheep classes and horse classes for people to enjoy. There were sheep
dogs trials going on which was well attended. A walling competition,
Vintage cars and tractors for the public to view.

Swaledale. It boasts a great selection of trade and entertainment
stands for all the family, from candyfloss and bouncy castles to
tractors and a licensed bar. The show gets underway when Reeth

The show's largest marquee contains the hugely well attended
horticulture and produce classes as well as walking
sticks,
handicrafts, handwriting, paintings

Other marquees hold the popular poultry classes

stalls. Around the show field trade stands from the Dales
and around the county offer plenty of opportunity for purchasing
something original from rural crafts to excellent food.
The main show ring hosts large numbers of the customary horse
and pony classes throughout the day including the more
colourful categories of Open
Driving Competition and Mounted
Fancy Dress. Every year this main show ring also hosts a
special feature. Elsewhere in the show field the sheep section
showcases the best quality sheep breeds in the Dale, next to which
there is a display of vintage
tractors competing for best in show and during the day open
quoits and dry
stone walling competitions take place.
One of the main events of the day is the fell
racing competition. The race traditionally goes up
Fremington Edge overlooking the show field. The competitors are part of
the British Open Fell Runners Association with races for all classes.
Each year a prize is offered for breaking the course record.
