The 155th Alwinton Border Shepherds’ Show saw a packed programme of events from rare breed displays, dog shows, sheep trials, the annual children’s fell race, Westmorland Wrestling and collie dog judging.
Northumberland rural broadband experts Alncom connected ultrafast broadband to the field in a UK first, enabling the showground to use chip and pin payment for the stall holders, making a successful country day out for everyone.
Local produce was on display from local farmers and the wider community with an array of jams, cakes and homegrown vegetables including Lizzie Honey from Heppel who won second prize for her homemade carrot cakes, along with tractor displays and a rare ram and sheep display.
