The Royal Lancashire Show is famous for being the oldest agricultural show in the country.
Historically, it has been a showcase for everything our countryside has had to
offer. In the past three day shows attracted over 20,000 people per day, it was
a highlight of the rural communities year and of great benefit to the local
rural economy. In recent years due to unseasonal weather and wetter summers
this had a great impact on our counties agricultural economy. In July 2007 the
RLAS was forced to abandon the show for only the second time since the 1940's
the heavy unseasonable rain rendered the showground unsafe for public access.
The disastrous weather struck the show again in 2008 along with traffic
management concerns and site access problems caused the 2009 show to be
abandoned and the Society was left in a very precarious financial position.
With great sadness the show had to be mothballed in 2010 and 2011.For the last
2 years the Society has restructured, initiated new strategic partnerships and
successfully held several one day events featuring elements of the original
show. 2012 is a momentous year as it will see the much anticipated return to a
showground with The Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society Countryside
Experience at its new venue of Witton Country Park.To find out more about the event (Click Here).
