Isle Of Man Set For Southern Agricultural Show

The first major Manx agricultural event of the year is set to welcome thousands of visitors on Saturday and Sunday.

The Southern and District Agricultural Show runs between 10:00 and 17:00 BST on both days.

Held at Orrisdale Farm in Ballasalla, it is the first of two annual shows highlighting the farming industry.

Show President Sarah Comish said it was a “valuable” opportunity for the farming community to connect with the wider public.

About 10,000 people visited the show last year, watching stock judging and the grand parade to pick the supreme champion, as well as visiting the trade stalls, many of which showcase local produce.
