The weekend
we made together.
A look back at the people, animals and moments that filled the Leicestershire County Show with life on 30 and 31 August 2026.
Begin the storyA county show is made of thousands of moments.
Some happen in the centre of the ring. Others happen quietly before the gates open, in a conversation across a trade stand, or when a child meets an animal for the first time.
These are some of the memories we created together in 2026.
The showground comes to life.
From the quiet preparations to a showground filled with families, friends and familiar faces.
Proud moments in the livestock rings.
Exceptional animals, skilled handlers and generations of knowledge shared across the rings.
Makers, traders and local enterprise.
The marquees were filled with craftsmanship, conversation and a tremendous range of independent businesses.
Around the Main Ring.
Hounds, horses, the flypast and the moments that brought everyone together at the heart of the show.
Thank you for being part of it.
We’ll keep adding to the story as more photographs arrive—and we’ll share news about the 2027 show as plans take shape.
