💚 Thank You! 💚

Another Hurst Show & Country Fayre has come to an end, and what a fantastic weekend it was!

With soaring temperatures on Saturday, followed by perfect summer weather on Sunday, we were delighted to welcome so many visitors and have received some wonderfully positive feedback about this year's show, particularly our new layout, Music Zone and Discovery Trail.

As always, Hurst Show simply would not happen without the incredible support of our community.

A huge thank you to our volunteers, exhibitors, performers, sponsors and everyone who attended and helped make the weekend such a success.

We'd especially like to thank Hurst residents for their patience and understanding over the show weekend. We know the event brings extra traffic, visitors and activity to the village, and we are extremely grateful for your continued support in helping us stage this much-loved community event.

As a volunteer-run, non-commercial show, every ticket purchased, burger eaten and activity enjoyed helps us raise vital funds for local charities, community groups and good causes. We're looking forward to sharing how much has been raised in due course.

Thank you once again for being part of Hurst Show 2026 – and we'll see you next year! 🎉

🍓🥓 Special Hurst Show Public Service Announcement! 🥓🍓

It has come to our attention that whilst people might know sponsors' logos, fewer know about the unofficial Olympic events taking place behind the scenes each year...

🏅 The 1,000 Bacon Bap Relay
🏅 The Strawberry Storage Championships
🏅 The Great Meat Collection Dash
🏅 The Emergency Meeting Room Decathlon

For over 13 years, The castle inn has been reigning champion in all of the above, generously supporting Hurst Show in ways that don't always make it onto posters, programmes or social media.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some pull pints, store strawberries, lend meeting rooms and somehow fit 1,000 baps into a car in just two trips.

So, from everyone at Hurst Show, a huge thank you to The Castle Inn for being one of our most valued behind-the-scenes supporters for well over a decade. We quite literally couldn't do it without you.

Why not pop in and visit whilst you are at the Show and join us in raising a glass to them 🍺🍻🍷
