West Show returns to Guernsey

From vintage tractors to lawn mower racing, a Guernsey tradition that has been taking place for more than 100 years is being celebrated with the return of the West Show.

The event gives farmers the opportunity to show off their prize cattle and vegetables, but fun for all the family is also on offer.

There are competitions aplenty, from bean jar to photography.

This year the show is being held over the next two days (17 and 18 August), with fairground attractions and parkour performances just some of the activities people can enjoy.

Entertainment is another important part of the lineup, with live bands playing to audiences.

Organiser Jim Smart says it's thanks to a huge community effort that the show is able to go ahead:

"It's great to be back. It's nice to see so much nice produce that's in the tent this year, especially considering the very dry weather we've had.

"We've got some lovely flowers and flower arrangements and there's loads of cakes in here. And there's a lot of children's entries which is lovely to see.

"The future of the show is looking strong with all these entries."

The doors at L'Eree opened at 10am today (17 August) and close at 11pm tomorrow (18 August). The night bus service will not be running this year.
