Ashover Show 2024: Everything you need to know

At Secret Wood Glamping, whilst idyllically located in a rural, private woodland within the quiet Derbyshire village of Holmesfield, we are also nearby several wonderful places to visit and a number of well-known attractions from across the Peak District, North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.

Coming up in the calendars this August is the annual Ashover Agricultural and Horticultural Show. Just a 25 minute drive away from Secret Wood, Ashover Show is a family-friendly event that showcases an array of Derbyshire countryside culture. 

Perfect for both locals and visitors to the area, we thought we’d share a snapshot of everything you need to know about the event, in case you’re interested…

Ashover Show is an event that has been running each summer in Ashover, Derbyshire since 1925. 

A popular agricultural event attracting people from across the country, Ashover Show is ideal for a family day out to enjoy various animal exhibitions, spectacles, trade stands – and local food and drink. To break it down for you, we’ve listed everything to see at the show here:

  • Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Poultry, Horticulture and Dog Shows
  • Vintage Vehicles and Machinery Exhibitions
  • Trade Stands of local crafts, produce, food and drink

What’s more, this year the show will also feature The Belgian Bouncing Man, performing a comedy equestrian show with Roman Riding, Liberty and Trick Riding!
