THE Romsey Show was back this year with some marvellous end-of-summer weather.

The phrase on everyone's lips was "there's something for everyone", and there really was – people of all ages, families, couples, everyone it seemed had come down to sample the eclectic mix of farming displays, food, drink and fun on Saturday, September 13.

The Advertiser was there talking to punters and taking a look at some of the livestock, machinery and all the rest on the massive site at Broadlands, located on the edge of the historic Hampshire market town.

Photographer Peter Nicholson was also there to capture the action.

The Yeatman family thought the festival as "great".  Mum Leah said: “The sun always shines, it’s always been lovely. There’s always something for everyone.”

Her girls described the ferrets were "the cutest thing in the world", while her partner Peter was delighted with the cider on offer.

Elsewhere, Jackie Hammond said: "The variety really stood out. There was something for everyone young and old. We’ve been here since half past ten. That tells you something.”

Another family, father Richard Browning with kids Amy, Jack and Harrison, were at the show all day.

Jack’s favourite thing was the fairground, Harrison’s was the BMX show, Richard’s was the sheep show and Amy loved the food.

One of the standout features this year, and in previous years, was the grand parade of livestock, where attendees were treated to a diverse showcase of cattle, sheep, donkeys, and horses.

Equine events, including horse classes and donkey displays, also attracted keen interest. The livestock shows reflected the event’s deep agricultural roots.

For those seeking hands-on countryside experiences, the show’s Countryside Area did not disappoint. Activities such as Flyball for dogs, motorcycle displays, falconry displays, and gun dog demonstrations were all on offer, so there was plenty to see and plenty to learn about.

Families particularly enjoyed the mobile petting farm and the Dog activities. Children had the chance to interact with farm animals and even participate in events with their own dogs.

The trade stands were another major attraction, with hundreds of stalls offering a variety of goods, from rural crafts and clothing to garden furniture and farm equipment.

Foodies were in for a treat at the dedicated Food Zone, which featured local and international delicacies, chef demonstrations, and the popular Hampshire Fare Skills Kitchen. The picnic area provided the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the local fare​.
