Tendring Show

Essex County's Premier Agricultural Event

The Lawford Park Horse Show

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

Countdown to the Show

What they're saying about us

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Myself and family always really enjoy the Tendring Show. So much for everyone to see and do. My 2 year old is tractor mad, so he especially enjoyed watching the display’s in the main arena. Well done!! Another fantastic day out.

  • I would just like to say a BIG Thank you for such a brilliant day yesterday. We arrived on the show ground at 7.20am and left at 5.45pm! Thanks for all your hard work and look forward to next year.

    Teresa & Sarah Endean

  • It was a splendidly organised event. Thank you. So nice to see a proper Farmers Show.

    Lilian Clark, East Anglian Jack Russell Club

  • Tendring Show is a happy family show with a strong sense of the agricultural community it serves.

    Jan Williams Essex Storytellers
