THE 135th Great Harwood Agricultural Show takes place on Monday, June 3.

Last year's event was cancelled due to the foot and mouth outbreak and organisers hope people will attend this year's show in their droves.

Because the show falls on the Queen's Golden Jubilee, organisers are also offering free entry.

The show will include displays of heavy and light horses, show-jumping, poultry, rabbits, domestic pets and falconry.

There will be ferret-racing, a duck round-up by sheepdogs, an exhibition of vintage cars, fairground, jazz band and charity market. The Duke of Wellington Hotel in Great Harwood town centre will host street entertainment and offer free transport to and from the showground.

Organiser Carol Armer said: "We had to cancel last year's event due to the foot and mouth outbreak, so we're looking forward to a great show this year and are offering free entry to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee."

The event takes place on the Great Harwood Showground in Wood Street and starts at 9am.

Anyone interested in entering their animals should contact Graham Bingham on 01254 208271.
