The world’s largest gathering of Shire horses takes place in March each year for a celebration of the breed’s unique history and heritage.
Enthusiasts will travel from across Europe to show their horses, with spectators expected to come from all over the world.
The Pedigree Shire horses will be put through their paces over three days of competition- giving horse lovers a unique insight into the gentle giants of the horse world. The National Show is the opportunity to find out more about Shire Horses, see them shown in style- in-hand, ridden and turned out- to support the work of the Shire Horse Society.
The prestigious King George V cup will be awarded to the most impressive stallion on Saturday and a host of other trophies will be handed out over the weekend.

- National Championships with around 250 entries expected to compete making it the largest gathering of shires in the world!
