The Horbury Show - Sunday 24th June 2012
11 am to 4.30 pm
Welcome to your Show! The Horbury Show is always held on the last Sunday in June and for over 30 years has been a major feature in the local events calendar. The Rotary Club of Horbury & Ossett Phoenix have organised (and expanded) the Show at Carr Lodge Park in the centre of Horbury for the last 16 years.
The Show regularly attracts several thousand people from Horbury, Ossett, Netherton and surrounding districts offering free entrance to all (although we do ask for donations for parking) and with all the Rotary Club profits going to local charitable causes. So far, the 2012 attractions include Falconry displays; Majorettes; Cheerleaders; Wildcat Dolls and Kittens; Dry Stone walling, Hedge Laying and Wood Carving displays; Horbury Victoria Brass Band; Fairground attractions; Punch and Judy shows; Classic Cars and Motorcycles; Information, Chariity and Commercial stalls; Bar Marquee; Food outlets and much more. (Visit the Attractions Page).
As well as our target of raising money for the local causes which the Rotary Club supports, our other main aim is to make the Horbury Show a family interactive event - so that there are plenty of opportunities for young and old alike to take part in events and displays and to be entertained and informed - new ideas from the public are always very welcome.

In 2011 we were very pleased to welcome a new Main Show Sponsor; Pentagon Hyundai of Horbury Bridge. GO Outdoors (formerly Mitchell's of Middlestown), continued with their substantial support and we were delighted that they once again agreed to be a main sponsor in 2011 - that was the fifth year in succession we have had their support and we are very grateful to them. Also, Richard Kendall, Estate Agent - the leading sales and letting agent in the Wakefield area (who has a prominent office in Horbury - and in Ossett) is a regular and enthusiastic sponsor.
We are grateful to them and to the other supporters - Capri Restaurant and Wine Bar at Horbury Bridge continued with their valued assistance as did Yorkshire Water who helped with the logistical support needed; Green Light Traffic Management Ltd, have helped us overcome the financial and practical issues around the provision of traffic management cones; Yorkshire Building Society who have helped with poster and programme printing; while the owners of businesses based in Horbury, Ossett and outside the area also support the Horbury Show especially Horbury Bridge Stone Sales, Cole Catering, Total Sports Promotions, Stopcroft Transport and O'Neills Transport. Their contributions are invaluable - so please follow the links to their websites.
The 2011 Show...What a Brilliant Day!
