Horbury Show - Volunteers Wanted
The Horbury Show is run by the Phoenix Rotary Club and raises thousands of pounds for charity every year. All the profits from the show go to Phoenix Rotary's Trust Fund, a registered charity, which spends the vast majority within our local communities. The Show relies heavily on volunteers to run efficiently and keep costs down, enabling it to continue as a free community event.
The Horbury Show 2019 will take place on 30 June and we need additional voluntary help in the form of people willing to assist for a few hours during the 2 days leading up to and on the day itself. Help is needed on tasks such as loading and unloading equipment onto a lorry or transit van, collecting and distributing traffic cones, directing traffic, setting up show rings, litter picking, distributing tables and chairs, leading stall holders to their pitches, and many more. Help will be needed on Friday 28 June from 4pm to 6pm, Saturday 29 June from 1.30pm to 2.30pm - litter pick, and Sunday 30 June (Show Day) - various times, in one or two hour blocks, from 7am to 6pm.
Some of the loading and unloading requires a reasonable level of strength, but the majority of the jobs require only normal levels of fitness and mobility.

Welcome to Your Horbury Show - 2019
The Horbury Show is always on the last Sunday in June
The next Horbury Show is on Sunday 30th June 2019 - 11 am to 4.30 pm
This will be the 23nd Horbury Show run by the Rotary Club of Horbury & Ossett Phoenix (and the 37th year in which the Show and its predecessor, the Midgley Show, has taken place in Carr Lodge Park in the centre of Horbury).
The Show regularly attracts several thousand people from Wakefield, Horbury, Ossett, Netherton and surrounding districts. We offer free entrance to all visitors (although we do ask for donations for parking) and all the profits our Rotary Club makes from the Show are paid into our Charitable Trust Fund to be used mainly for local charitable causes.
Horbury & Ossett Phoenix Rotary Club is not a commercial organisation, we don't have funds of our own and therefore could not run the Show without the help and financial assistance of our sponsors and supporters - but most importantly the public who turn up on the day. We continue to receive strong support from our local Councillors, as well as from members of WMDC StreetScene Services. The Trustees of Horbury Common Lands Trust have been generous in their support and in addition the owners of businesses based in our district also support the Show through their sponsorship, advertising in our Show Programme and attendance at the Show. Their support is invaluable to us - so please follow the links to their websites.
We will post a list of the attractions for the 2019 Show before the Show. If you are interested in taking space at the show, please download the application form and associated documents (including our data consent form) by clicking [here]. (forms will be downloadable from 11th Feb 2019)
Free Admission
To emphasise, admission to the Show is totally FREE. The authorised Rotary Marshalls will be rattling their buckets for any donations you may have – which will go to the Phoenix Rotary Trust Fund. Our free Show programme has information on the causes we supported after last year’s show.
Sponsorship and Marketing Opportunities
If you are interested in using the marketing opportunities presented by the Show (such as becoming
a sponsor, appearing on our show poster, advertising in our colour programme distributed free at
the Show or having your banners around our main ring) then click here. If you would like to discuss any of these opportunities then please use this link: contact us
