Harbottle Show has made a successful return to the calendar after a three year absence.

Entries in the sheep classes were the highest they have been for many years and there was a large selection of really good vegetables and baking in the industrial tent.

A marvellous selection of handmade quilts, needlework and weaving work lay beside a really outstanding selection of floral exhibits.

The tea tent proved popular and the perfect place for many to catch up on each other’s news.

Bread, cakes and more in the industrial tent.

There was an extensive display of old stationary engines, many having worked up the valley many years before. Classic cars were also on display.

There was also archery, quoits, a dog show, music and children’s races, with the adult ladies’ egg and spoon race another highlight.

The terrier racing was also a great success coming straight after the main attraction of a gun dog display.
