A village show attracted record-breaking crowds earlier this summer when horses, dogs, and people joined in the fun, raising £9,000 for good causes.

Organisers of the 62nd Gorefield Show were delighted with the event's success and the "incredible amount" it raised for causes in the village.

The show, which was held in June, had an array of attractions, ring displays, and fun and games for all ages.

There was the ever-popular heavy horse show, which saw the magnificent animals parade in the ring for the crowds to admire and the judges to pick their winners.

Those without a horse of their own were not left out, as new this year was a hobby horse ring where 'riders' could compete over jumps as well as take part in gymkhana races, there was even a best in show and hobby high jump, all of which proved hugely popular with the youngsters.

The money raised will be shared among village amenities, including St Paul's Church, the Playing Field Association, Gorefield Pre-School, and Gorefield Primary School.

A spokesperson for the organisers said: "A big thank you goes again to everyone who visited, competed, traded, exhibited, and helped at the show.

"We have some super plans to make our 2026 show even bigger and better. Please contact us if you’d like to get involved."
