SHEEP AUCTION AND MORE ON A FULL SATURDAY
We are making the agricultural heart of the event available to all with the sheep auction on Saturday and surrounding it with a farmers’ market, live music, bar, food offerings and agricultural equipment on display.

SHEEP FAIR IS BECOMING MORE SUSTAINABLE…
…Reusable cups at our barrrr on Saturday and in the fighting Cocks over the weekend..keep em filled and then take them home as a souvenir!

David Wilson Homes are our main sponsor again this year. It’s hard to pick out particular events as we have packed a lot in, but some of the entertainment includes… great live music from Friday night right through to Sunday afternoon, a beer festival and loads of food and stalls, a fun run is being planned, birds of prey, 5 aside football, morris dancers – back by popular demand! Bake off and competitions for all such as the best painted welly…

We are excited to add our NEW competition the Great Corby glen BAKE OFF to our Saturday event with both adult and kids entries.

Don’t miss out on showing off your creative skills, our judges can’t wait to start tasting and be awed!

KIDS:

ADULTS

All entries should be displayed by 12.00 in the marquee, Saturday 5th October. Judging will take place at 1pm.

The fair will be in town, our amazing school’s choir and the Dance Academy will wow us all, (as always) performing on the main stage!

The sporting challenge in memory of Bailey Drew will be open to all this year – so set up your own teams of 5, all ages and everybody welcome!

MORE STALLS THAN EVER THIS YEAR

There are record numbers of stall holders this year and as well as the classic cars we all love to see, we will have classic tractors on Saturday and who knows what else!

The legendary food challenge will have a new theme this year as we ran out of chilli and sausage eaters….not to be missed…. 

Thank you to all our stall holders, sponsors and raffle prize donors, you make a massive difference to our funding and making it a great day.

Don’t forget the Willoughby Gallery has a great exhibition on, the Church Rooms are open and at the Church a Thanksgiving Service is held at 6pm. We have card machines for our outside bar on Saturday but do bring some cash with you!

If you need help on the day look out for our Marshalls in their usual orange tops.

Remember that not all stalls have card machines, so bring some cash with you to enjoy the weekend!
