IT is not that long until this year’s Orsett Show which takes place on Saturday 5 September 2015 between 9.00am and 5.00pm at the Orsett Showground. This year’s Show will be the 109th Show making it one of the oldest one-day Country Shows in England. Set in 30 acres of Essex countryside in the village of Orsett, the annual Orsett Show is a great day out with attractions for all the family and is one of, if not the, most popular family event in Thurrock.
Full details about the Show can be found on the Orsett Show website www.orsettshow.co.uk where you will find details of how you can enter everything from the various horse classes to your prize-winning pumpkins or cakes. Entering is very easy and you can either do this online as the forms are on the website or you can download them, complete and send back to us. There will once again be a family stage area which we are organizing with Impulse Leisure with entertainment throughout the day from local groups and clubs. The Thurrock Community Chest will also be holding their Annual Prize Draw at the Orsett Show, where the top prize is a car! Just think you could attend the Orsett Show and leave having won a car!!
At the Show, there are marquees featuring Horticulture, Agriculture, Hobbies & Handicrafts, Schools, Craft Stalls and over 150 Trade Stands. There’s an ever-changing programme of exciting displays in the Grand Display Ring and events and competitions throughout the day in the Horse Rings. Below is the timetable for the Grand Display Ring:
