Welcome
The Sutherland Agricultural Show began in 1951 to showcase the vitality and productivity of the largest county in the United Kingdom. Stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea, from the far north coast to the Dornoch Firth, Sutherland encompasses a wide diversity of landscapes and climactic conditions, and its industries and agriculture reflect this.	Last year’s show lived up to its promise to be bigger and better than before - for 2010 we have an even better programme, including the return, by popular request and after many years' absence, of wrestling. All the usual events will be there: livestock, horse and pony, flower show, handicrafts, funfair and a wide range of trade stands. Two new items that proved a great success in 2009 were the ‘Blas an fhàsaich’ (Flavour of the Wilderness) festival and the local heritage societies' tents. This year they'll be extended and we're also adding a ‘Lios an fhàsaich’ (Gardens of the Wilderness) festival, which will include 'Gardeners' Question Time' events. Add to that some exciting main ring entertainment, including the Jez Avery stunt bike team, terrier racing, a police demonstration and the pipe band display and it's a sure recipe for a grand day out! Just to add to the fun, we're bringing back the famous wrestling event that was so popular in the past. This year, there'll be American Wrestling at the Showground on Saturday 31st July from 8pm. Adults £10 - kids £6. Tickets at the door. Don't miss it!
