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. |

 Yes it has... In droves. We all know that there are many exhibitionists amongst you, the Carnival proves that. Well nows the chance to unleash your talents on the world in the inaugeral Wanborough's Got Talent competition. So if you can sing, or tell jokes, or do tricks... or teach your dog to do tricks, let us know.
We hope to run preliminary heats sometime in June/July but this will depend on the number of entries. The final will be held on showday with the 3 best acts vying for the ultimate accolade.
If you would like to take part please contact either barry and Sue on 790832 or Mike and Jenny on 790178 |

 The Jack Smith Memorial Trophy was awarded this year to Gary Caswell. Gary has been a staunch supporter of the show for many years, always on hand with bales and tractors for the show itself and providing tractors and trailers to the carnival entrants. This award is in recognition of his selfless and continuing support for the show and to show our gratitude for that support. (Picture courtousey Photodreams Ltd and FLIC Wiltshire)

THE WANBOROUGH SHOW SOCIETY IS LOOKING FOR NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS
The Wanborough Shows are small country shows, bigger than a village fete, but small enough not to lose their intimacy. We run the shows as events of interest and enjoyment and to provide opportunities for local non-profit making organisations and charities to publicise their activities.
We specifically need someone to assist with show publicity and advertising but if you just want to be involved we will welcome willing volunteers All that is required is a commitment to attend monthly evening meetings, availability on the show dates the show and a few days before and after the shows is also helpful. You don't even have to live in Wanborough or the 4 parishes
The shows are a valued village tradition and rely on the time and effort of volunteers, If you would like to help us and contribute to the community events throughout the year we would love to hear from you.
Martin Ripley WSS Chairman 01793 791593 for a chat and more details.
