Burniston Show was first held as a Floral and Horticultural
Society Show in 1888, and was funded by local farmers, who pledged
up to £10 each to fund the Burniston and District Agricultural
and Horticultural Show.
The fist Show was held on ground behind the Three Jolly Sailors
Pub, with special prizes being reserved for the residents of
Burniston, Cloughton, Staintondale
and Harwood Dale.
Despite the two World Wars and problems caused due to the outbreak
of Foot and Mouth, the Burniston Show has developed into its
current August Bank Holiday Event, which includes exhibits of
rabbits and cavies, poultry and waterfowl, traditional crafts,
baking, honey and wine making, classic and vintage machinery, and
the horticultural and agricultural classes.
Hot food, hot and cold drinks, ice cream and a fairground and
children's games are all available on site, with a wide variety of
Trade Stands and displays to cater for a wide range of visitors
and enthusiasts.
If you would like to receive more information about any aspect of
the show, or would be interested in helping or sponsoring an
event, please contact one of our secretaries who would be very willing to help you.
