Thousands of visitors flock to the New Deer Show each year to enjoy the livestock shows, competitions and performances.
The two-day event – which was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to coronavirus restrictions – regularly attracts between 8,000 and 10,000 people.
With one of the largest horse shows in the area, exhibitors showcasing their products and much more, there is something for all ages to enjoy.
