Organisers say this year’s event, held on Saturday June 9, will be “fun-packed and as full as ever” with activities ranging from dog shows to fancy dress parades.

This year, the show would like to target budding bakers for the show’s famous cake stall, a spokesman said: “We’d be very grateful for any homemade biscuits or cakes.

“The stall is very popular and has a delicious array of some very scrumptious cakes. If you can make a cake or two you can drop them off at the village Londis shop before Saturday or at the stall on show day.”
