“With over 60 stalls to browse, dog shows, birds of prey, classic car shows, donkey rides, Punch & Judy, tug of war and much more, the Horbury Show promises a fantastic day out for the whole family.
“We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our sponsors including Richard Kendall and YouFibre, DSM Productions and Orion Homes and Associate Sponsors Barracuda Fisheries, Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors, Horbury Autocentre, Kingfisher Restaurant and R. Toomes & Son Ltd.
“A special thank you also goes to the Horbury & Ossett Phoenix Rotary Club who have once again been on hand to share their invaluable advice and input with us.”
