Lochaber Agricultural Show, Highlands
Held on a farm in Happy Valley in the Highlands, this scenic show has Ben Nevis as a backdrop. As well as agriculture and horses, there is an emphasis on handicrafts, with contests in scores of categories across baking, preserving, knitting, crafting, growing and more. This is the 124th annual show, but categories have moved with the times, with prizes for the best sourdough bread, kombucha and hummus. The show field has sheep-shearing demos, a children’s pet parade, pipers and Highland dancers, and there is a children’s tent and a food and craft marquee.
26 August, adults £8, under-18s free, lochaberagriculturalshow.co.uk
