The Keswick Agricultural Show was founded in 1860 and is traditionally held on August Bank Holiday Monday in a field on the Western edge of town and features both commercial and charity stands.
The Show attracts large numbers of competitors, exhibitors and spectators and is a great day out
for all the family.
There is a wide range of animal exhibits for judging, including classes for Herdwick and
Swaledale sheep, Cattle, Pony and Horse showing and Show Jumping. Large Industrial marquee exhibiting produce, home baking, flowers, honey also including a strong children's section of three different age groups.
As well as Trade stands there is a well supported Art & Craft marquee where there are 28 stalls
 including leather craft, paintings, photography, jewellery, Horn craft, hand spun wool items etc.

The Keswick Show also incorporates the Cumbria Championship Sheepdog Competition,
Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling, Poultry classes and a Display by The West Cumbria
Vintage Machinery Club.

There are also classes for showing working Sheep dogs, Terriers, Foxhounds and children's pets.
Side stalls and refreshments. Licensed Beer tent and catering.

Keswick Agricultural Society would like to thank all Exhibitors, Competitors, Subscribers, Trade, Art & Craft Stands for their support & understanding after unfortunately yet again we had to cancel our show which was due to take place on the 25th, August. 2008

The adverse weather conditions led to the very difficult & disappointing decision the executive committee had to make.
