North Northumberland country show returns for 128th time after three-year break on August Bank Holiday

One of north Northumberland's biggest annual events is set to return this August Bank Holiday Monday after three years away.

The Glendale Show was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but organisers are hoping it'll come back with a bang, with sheep, cattle, horses and even giant tortoises welcomed to the 128th iteration of the (usually) annual show on the Wooler show field later this month. The show aims to bring together all aspects of life in the countryside, mixed with the finest livestock, fruit, flowers, honey, garden produce, baking and country crafts.

Said to be a true celebration of farming and the countryside, it is expected to attract in the region of 12,000 visitors from both town and country. This year, the main ring will feature the "amazing" Atkinson Action Horses, a team of highly-skilled horses and riders from East Yorkshire who have appeared in Peaky Blinders and Poldark.
