This year’s Emley Show is just days away - so what can we expect?

Having pulled in 12,000 visitors last year, the agricultural event is in its 123rd year.

The family day out takes place on Saturday, August 6 at Factory Lane opposite Emley Moor Mast.

Expect to see all the usual attractions such as animal contests, craft stalls and delicious food.

In the main ring, sheepdogs, vintage tractors, owls and donkeys will all be showcased.

Children’s fancy dress is also part of the event again this year, so parents: get cutting out those bin liner capes.
