Dalgety Show

Sunday 4 March 2012

The Dalgety Show offers animal stalls and pavilions with displays of cattle, sheep, goats and horse jumping and side show alley activities. Come and enjoy a day out at a country show.

The first show in 1945 was officially held to raise money to build a Memorial Hall to honour soldiers fighting in the war. This show, described by one involved as “a pretty rough turnout” was followed by several shows that didn’t make any money and where no records were kept. However, the fact that the show has been successfully held every year since then is a tribute to the ingenuity and determination of the small community
