What they're saying about us

I just wanted to email to say that we really enjoyed being a part of your event on Saturday. We had many repeat customers through the day and lots of compliments on our set up. We would love to come back next year!
Caroline Butler-Bird, Hempland’s Coffee
I always look forward to the Tendring show for no matter what your interests you will find something for you and as far as the Colchester Vintage Club is concerned it is the only event in the year that we attend as a static Show.
P. Pearson, Colchester Vintage Motor Club
Tendring Show is a happy family show with a strong sense of the agricultural community it serves.
Jan Williams Essex Storytellers
I travel nearly 600 miles from the north of Scotland to be part of such a friendly atmosphere. Tendring is a Show like no other. There are no empire builders, everyone pulls together to make it a really great occasion. I hope to be able to make it for many years yet, well done everyone.
Brian Brinded, The Rabbit Whisperer
Just to say well done to you and your team – excellent Show. Thank you for letting us extend our PR around the goat show – think the organisers like the extra people and upbeat day’s experience around them!
David Boyden, Boydens
A lovely, traditional agricultural show, lots to see, plenty to do, entertainment for all the family.
Nicki Firth, Colchester Poultry Club
We have used the Show as a PR tool to show new technology for over 15 years and see many of our existing customers year after year. It’s a great day out and we always seem to generate new leads and we will continue our support to the Show for years to come.
Paul Dewing, Managing Director – GCS Alarms
Once again another very successful show, Well Done, Congratulations. I would like to thank you very much for my very forward Car Pass, I really appreciated it and so did the family because it meant they did not have to ferry me around the Car Park.
Mrs J. Smith
We have been supporting the Tendring Show for over 50 years and see it as our main shop window to promote both the NFU and the NFU Mutual locally.
Philip Breary, NFU Mutual, Colchester
Our Ice Cream stall in the Food Hall has always been popular come rain or shine – lots of regular faces visiting us each year. The cookery demonstrations give the Food Hall a real buzz – It is always such a busy show and offers a really great family day out.
Jane Hadley, Hadleys Icecream

8th Feb 2019

We previously announced that we were unable to continue to run a number of the horse competitions at the Tendring Show. This was not a decision we took lightly and there was an understandable amount of disappointment from the local community.

We are therefore delighted to announce that after ongoing discussions with local riding clubs, a local group has come forward to run a dedicated horse show. The Lawford Park Horse Show will be held at the Tendring Show on Saturday 13 July and will take place in the same field as it has on previous years.

All the usual showing classes will run and a full schedule together with entry forms will be emailed to exhibitors from the past two years. Although the event will be organised by a different organising group, exhibitor passes to the Show based on entries, will be provided as they have in the past.

The Lawford Park Horse Show team will need as many entries as possible in order to make the new competition a success. Please do show them your support. You can find more information at: https://www.facebook.com/LPHS19
