Big crowds gather in Brailes for fun day out
THE Playing Field at Brailes was packed for the 80th staging of the village show which is always held on the second Saturday in August.
Organisers estimated 1,200 to 1,500 people visited one of the biggest rural shows in the district which had lots of things to see and do throughout the day.
A display of classic vehicles caught the eye and there were cups and trophies to be won in the flowers and produce marquee.
Fairground rides, a dog show, animal attractions, retail and trade stands, a bar plus tea, cakes and ice creams all made for a splendid summer afternoon in the south Warwickshire countryside.
Money raised from the show helps support community projects and causes like the village hall and the Brownies.
Arrangements for next year’s event have begun with some attractions already booked. The planning process will get into full swing next February when the show committee starts to organise the entertainment and events on the Playing Field on the second Saturday in August 2024.
