  • The Sheep Show

    Three Performances Daily

    A humorous and educational live, static stage show.

    All about sheep - Edu-tainment at its best!

    9 sheep breeds on stage. Presented by our team in true Kiwi style. Sheep shearing and our unique 'dancing sheep'. Fun and spectacular for all ages.

  • Practical Horsemanship

    Three Performances Daily

    Practical Horsemanship is presented by Grant Bazin who has worked for legendary American horse whisperer Monty Roberts. Grant has travelled the world helping young and troubled horses overcome all manner of behavioural issues, using his understanding of equine behaviour and great blend of love for horses and sense of fun.

    During this weekend's display Grant will be working with a young horse that has never worn a saddle or carried a rider before, by using the methods he has learnt from a lifetime with horses. Just watch and see what can be achieved in a truly unique display that will wow the audience, from the layman to the expert equine enthusiast. This highly educational, fun and exciting display is not to be missed!!

  • The Hants & Berks Ferret Club

    The team have been entertaining the public with their famous racing ferrets since the club was established in 1998. Ferret racing is fun, interactive and totally unique. It is one of those attractions that can be seen as a bit strange but has great potential and is very enjoyable for people of all ages.

  • The British Breeds Revival Trust

    The British Breeds Revival Trust (BBRT) is on a mission to revive our native farm breeds and transform the way we farm. Through sustainable practices that prioritize wildlife without ignoring profitability, we're supporting a new generation of farmers to embrace tradition and innovation, and create a brighter future for our land, our animals, and our communities.

    Come and see the BBRT on our stand at The Cotswold Show and meet some rare British Breeds! We will have a selection of our beautiful native breeds for you to meet.

    Visit our stand and say hello!

  • The Dog and Duck Show

    As one of the most popular dog displays in the country, the Dog and Duck Show team work extremely hard to educate the public about dog behaviour in a fun and enjoyable way for both the animals and owners. By using energy and body language, we show the audience how we control our sheep dogs at different stages of their training, while demonstrating simple techniques to help with common dog behaviour issues.

    The Dog and Duck Show display is divided into 3 parts. Part One - Dog psychology. Part Two - Natural Instincts. Part Three - Dogs in Action.

    The dogs and ducks live happily side by side at our home base. This closeness provides a natural protection against predators for the ducks, which allows them to be free range 24/7 in their area, as well as desensitizing the animals to each other.
