Mr Glover said this year's event had had a 'Delights of Dairy' theme which had featured fun activities from Hastys Adventure Farm, live milking displays, and information on how milk and dairy products are produced by local farmers.

He said the theme had caught the public's imagination: "You can see that in the displays from local schools in the education tent and in the number of families enjoying the theme area which has featured.

"This gets to the heart of why the show is such an important event.

"It's easy today to lose our connection with how the food we eat is produced, and our mission is to help create a better understanding between farming and non-farming local communities while providing the best possible day out and entertainment."
