The Bedwellty Society are pleased to announce that a sheepdog demonstration will be taking place at #BedwelltyAgriculturalShow2022

If you would like to buy tickets to the show in advance you can do so here: Ticketsource

This year in edition to our normal option of paying cash on the gate for admission we are also offering the option to buy your ticket in advance of show day.

If this is something you would like to do tickets can be purchased via Ticket Source here. Please note this is our ONLY official selling site, we are not selling tickets in advance of show day anywhere else.

We love seeing your photographs. Please ‘tag’ us on social media or email your photographs/videos in to us so we can share them on our platforms. Just like Simba the pony who snapped a selfie at our show back in 2018!

These images are also lovely for the team behind the show to look back on in the weeks after the show. We are often all so busy on show day and in the days before/after setting up the ground ready to welcome visitors and exhibitors we don’t get to see sections of the show outside of the one we are involved in – your photos give us an insight into the day from a visitor or exhibitors perspective that we really value and enjoy seeing.

We’re a social society! It’s also a good idea to follow our accounts so you stay up to date with show news & events throughout the year.

These are our official accounts –

We always get asked if dogs are welcome to attend our show and the answer is – Yes! Well behaved dogs are welcome to attend, we simply ask that some rules are followed: The dog must be kept on a lead and under control at all times, there are some areas of the show ground they are not permitted to enter (the craft and horticulture tent) and we ask that a sensible distance is maintained from all horses and livestock on the show ground.

We love that visitors to the show want to bring their furry companion to enjoy the day with them and that is why we are yet again having a family friendly dog show.

Entries will be taken on the day ONLY for these classes, there is no need to book in before show day.

We can’t wait to see your canines, please feel free to share your photographs on social media with us tagging our social media handles –
