The historic agricultural show, which raises money for local charities and societies, is set to take place on Bank Holiday Monday.

This year’s show will have a World War Two theme and commemorate the D-Day campaign, which happened 70 years ago.

As part of the World War Two-theme, the show will this year feature an 18-tonne D-8 tractor which was used during the conflict.

Also on offer at the event will be sheepdog trials, a cattle and sheep parade, vintage tractors, classic cars and a range of stalls and children’s attractions.

Gates will open at Hope Showground at 8am.

The Grand Parade will begin at 3pm.
