Our right royal show

Queen Victoria wasn’t easily pleased, but one thing that did tickle her fancy was our County Show – or Agricultural Show as it was known back then. She was a regular visitor, exhibited sheep here from her Osborne estate, donated silver cups that are still in use, and became our show’s first patron in 1882. The Queen also gave us our Royal title – making us one of only seven in the country with Royal patronage. We’re now very proud to be The Royal Isle of Wight County Show.

Thanks to our sponsors and visitors, and lots of hard work from the volunteers at the Royal Isle of Wight Agricultural Society, we are delighted to make this Show something that we can all look forward to every summer. Plus the great news is that any surpluses from the event will be used to support young people on the Island who want to learn agricultural skills. You can find out more about our Rural Careers Fund here.

There’s so much to do and see, ranging from tractor rides to sheep shearing and clay pigeon shooting, and ticket prices are ridiculously good value (£9 from www.iwcountyshow.co.uk, or £10 on the gate). So come along, enjoy a slice of country life, and have a fantastic day!
