TATTON PARK COUNTRY SHOW

TATTON PARK COUNTRY SHOW

August 2006 & August 2008

The shows provided a unique fun "family day out" experiencing a wide range of traditional country skills
with displays, events, "hands on" presentations, skilled crafters and traders.
There was an enjoyable mix of country sports, demonstrations, activities and equestrian events.
National companies also offered "tasting, promotional and buying" opportunities which, coupled
with the unpredictably variable late English "summer" weather, was an occasion where the spectators
were appreciative and enthusiastic.
The International Chainsaw Wood Carving event is building up a great annual following.
