The last minute change of show field seemed to be a hit last year. A move back to the old venue is planned, if the weather and hay-making allows.
More information to follow on new classes and attractions for this years show.
Full details including the Schedule and entry form will be added when available.
Anyone wishing to provide sponsorship, book a trade stand/table in the craft tent or place an advert in the Show Catalogue please contact the secretary. As a small rural organisation we really value your support both large and small.
The Show is a friendly and welcoming public event exhibiting the livestock, working animals, skills and sports associated with local agriculture and the community. This traditional rural event also includes activities for children, trade stands, competitions, food & drink and entertainment.
The Falstone Border Shepherds’ Show was established in 1885, but reluctantly had to be cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to restrictions and uncertainty as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The Show Committee thank everyone for their past, current and continuing help and support. Held in Falstone Northumberland each August, the Show includes classes for Blackfaced, Swaledale Cross, Mule Sheep and ‘Any other breed’, shepherds’ dogs, terriers, hounds, sheep dog trial, vegetables, cakes, eggs, sewing, knitting, sticks, children’s work, homemade drinks, photography, children’s and adult’s sports, fell race, quoits, pony sports and jumping.
