The full schedule for the Virtual Eccleshall Show in Staffordshire can be found on its website, following the cancellation of the 2020 event due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In the craft and horticulture section there are classes for vegetables, flowers, cookery, handicrafts and photography, with a whole range of children’s competitions.

There are three classes in the classic transport show – for a classic car, a classic commercial and a classic tractor.

The companion dog show will feature eight classes with some requiring video footage as well as still shots, while the equestrian classes will concentrate on fancy dress both for adults and children.

All the classes are free to enter and there will be rosettes and prize cards for first, second and third prize winners. Entries closed at midnight on Sunday, August 16 and the winners will be announced on Saturday, September 5, which would have been show day.

The 2021 show is set to take place on September 4 at Sugnall Parks.
