Stanhope Show 9th & 10th September 2023
It is with profound sadness that Stanhope Agricultural Society pay tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II who reigned selflessly for over 70 years.
We are sure that you will join with us in sending our deepest condolences to His Majesty King Charles III and the Royal family at this very sad time.
It has been decided that Stanhope Show 2022 will go ahead, albeit in a sombre mood.
We will commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II on both Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September, when we call upon everyone to observe a 2 minute silence at 1pm on both days.
A Book of Condolence will be opened by the President, Chairman and Officials of Stanhope Agricultural Society on Saturday 10th and will be available for visitors to pay their respects on both days.
“A great family day out!”
Stanhope Agricultural Show is an historic Weardale show held annually on the second weekend of September.
In 2022 the show will take place on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September.
We welcome you to our historic show and in 2022 celebrate our 180th show. A celebration of all that is fantastic about Weardale farming, it’s people and entertainment.
Sunday 11th September was to see us celebrate “Jubilee Sunday” at Stanhope Show. In light of the terribly sad news we will be paying tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II throughout the weekend.
