A small traditional agricultural show in idyllic Upper Swaledale. Run by volunteers, nothing fancy, just good old community spirit.
Bring your chairs, sun hats, brollies and wellies (just in case) and enjoy a day of Swaledale sheep showing, sheep dog running, produce, crafts & horticulture exhibits. Watch the children's sports and the famous Fell Race. All accompanied by the magnificent sounds of Muker Silver Band. Finish your day by joining the band in the village for community singing at 5pm.
Show Field Purchase Appeal
We have been offered an opportunity to purchase the main show field where the show has been held since 1893. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Show to own the main show field, ensuring it will continue to be the home of Muker Show for many years and future generations to come.
The Show Committee have raised nearly £30,000 to date, and we are now opening up the fundraising to the public, so everyone has the opportunity to contribute towards the field purchase as we know just how special the show is to so many. This will allow people to feel they have helped secure both Muker Show and the field's future.
You can donate via our official Gofundme page.
Cheques can be made out to Muker Show Ltd and posted to: Helen Guy, East View Cottage, Keld, North Yorkshire, DL11 6LJ
All donations will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.
