Bishop Wilton Show
From humble beginnings in the school yard, it’s still going strong after all these years, thanks to the amazing support it gets from the local community and surrounding towns and villages.
"Last year's show was incredible and one of our most successful to date with over 2000 visitors, new attractions including our farming through the ages and the all new egg throwing competition. We had a blast! We have a fabulous video that really captured the essence of the day. We shall look forward to seeing you again this year. You can see the video here "

Historical background
It all started in 1897 as the Bishop Wilton Flower Show in a tent erected in the school yard. In the early days it was accompanied by a cricket match, sports, a brass band and an evening dance. By 1907 a competition for mares, foals, cows and pigs had been added. Find out more about the very first Show on the Local History Site (including a copy of the first Show Programme). Also, the earliest known photograph of the Show, from 1923, can be viewed there. There was a South African connection with the first Show which is explained in an article on the Local History site.
From all of the Bishop Wilton Show Committee, a huge thank you to everyone who supports and visits our very special event.
