 Preparations are in full swing for this year's Show. All the entertainments have been booked for the day. We have an exciting line up including the Medieval Combat Society bring a taste of the dark ages to the show (No Witch burning please). Tony and Amanda Brutus will be amazing us with their feats of strength. Amanda is in the Guinness book of records as the strongest woman in the country. We have country pursuits in the form of Falconry and a sheepdog display.
Dressage is taking centre stage in the Equestrian ring and the competition is scheduled to run from 2pm. Come and see grace and skill of horse and rider in perfect control. Look out for our old friends 'The Balloon Wizard', 'Dem Cleanin Wimmin - Spick and Span' and Twizzle Gumboot and Tina Turnip whole will no doubt be causing havoc with the carnival again. |

Wanborough Show is a small country show. It is a one day event, bigger than a village fete, but small enough not to lose its intimacy, unlike some of the larger events in the area. Located in the village of Wanborough just 1.5 miles from J15 of the M4, 5 miles from the centre of Swindon and amid a cluster of villages on the edge of the Wiltshire downs, it is easily accessible for many people. 
The Show is organised by a committee of volunteers on a 'not-for-profit' basis. All charges for commercial stands, at the gate and other money raised is used to cover the costs of staging the event. Any surplus funds at the end of the year are distributed to local organisations and worthy causes. |
