This year's event on 23rd November 2025 dawned very wet, but as the show opened, the skies cleared and the sun shone for the rest of the morning. The event was reasonably well attended for this time of year, but was all over by early afternoon, allowing many visitors to get back home in daylight - or at least dusk! The pay box this year was inside the building -

Trade stands and tables attracted visitors

Last year's show was on 1st December 2024, at the usual venue of the Stafford County Showground ST18 0BD, inside the Argyle and Sandylands Centres. In spite of the early, dark start, and the torrential rain at the beginning, enough brave souls braved the weather to attend and make it a reasonably successful day. A few pictures are added -

A wet and windy entrance!
