are 45 classes for children and young people aged from 4 to 13. Even if

novice classes to try your skills out in if you prefer.
An eclectic mix of around 70
stalls, refreshment outlets, tombola, arts & crafts, face painting,
traditional sweets, historic gardening tools display, entertainments and
pony rides will be there and continuous events in the arenas will see
the return of flying falcons from First Class Falconry together with,
The Homested Dog Agility Team and The Devil’s Jump Clog Dance Group. We
also anticipate a visit from an excellent steel band and some delightful
Labrador Gun dogs. As usual, The Fun Dog Show will be a great
attraction – just bring your dogs on the day.
The Show Time Tables will be
placed on the website in August.
The
Show runs from 10.30am to 5pm at the Jubilee Recreation Ground, Horndean
Road with the EHS Exhibition Marquee opening at 1pm after the judging
has been completed and the Mayor of Havant has declared Emsworth Show
officially open. To conclude the afternoon there will be a presentation
of the prizes by Nigel Budgen, manager of Hillier’s Garden Centre,
Chichester followed by an auction of donated produce.
The entry fee is £2.50 with accompanied children under 12 free. There is
limited parking on the Show Ground which is an additional £2 per car.
This is family entertainment at its best.
150 plus EHS volunteers are needed to run the Show and we need more
volunteers to help, especially for clearing up at the end of the Show –
so if you would like to help please see the
attached helpers form and let us know if you can lend a
hand.
