AS visitors to Weardale, we thoroughly enjoyed this year’s show in St John’s Chapel on the Saturday of August Bank Holiday.

The variety of traditional attractions kept us entertained all day and for families with children, there were many free activities.

Apart from the farm animals, dog events and produce stands, we loved the playing of the Stanhope Band and particularly the exciting bale-stacking competition.

All round a really great day out in lovely surroundings.

We thought your report in Monday’s paper did not do justice to the wide range of attractions and activities in this traditional family show.
