With a bit of help from Ramsbury – Ramsbury Brewing & Distilling Co Ltd – as the headline sponsor for the returning Newbury Show, the Newbury Showground welcomed the crowds back this weekend to what has long been a very popular annual event.
For Ramsbury it’s the perfect event to support as it embraces all the aspects of country life here in the West Berkshire / East Wiltshire area, which complements the Ramsbury ethos of environmentally conscious farming and sustainability.
And this weekend, until Sunday afternoon the weather was fine. The crowds flocked in and it was only that afternoon’s rain – another essential aspect of rural life – that sent many into the numerous marquees present and encouraged the opening of a field of umbrellas.
This was the first Newbury Show since 2019, Covid and the pandemic forced a three year gap. Ramsbury’s presence was widespread, from the large marquee with bar, refreshments, shop and educational ‘Forest School’ area, through many displays of machinery and tractors, to activities for children, where, for no cost they could enjoy themselves.
A great weekend out for the family, with a big input from Ramsbury.
