Next weekend sees one of the West Yorkshire's larger agricultural shows, Honley at Farnley Tyas on Saturday, June 9. It may not have the length of service that many others pride themselves on, being a mere 73 years young. But it has built a strong reputation for bringing something for all the family. For those who don't see the area as being as agricultural as North
Yorkshire, there is a very pleasant surprise in the number of cattle and sheep classes, which more than match that of many of their more northern counterparts. It attracts a five-figure gate too, putting it well up the list in terms of Yorkshire's best-attended agricultural shows, so if you haven't been before, then this is the year to put it right.

Honley Show to Support Kirkwood Hospice - Saturday 9th June 2007

This year's Honley Show, set to take place at the Showground, Farnley Tyas, Huddersfield, on Saturday the 9th June, has chosen the Kirkwood Hospice as
its nominated charity for the event. This year is the Hospice's 20th anniversary.

'We are delighted to be associated with Kirkwood Hospice, which does some wonderful work on behalf of residents in the area. Nominating them as our
charity this year acknowledges its contribution to the community and we wish the Hospice ongoing success in all that it does,' states the Chairman of the Honley Show, Jim Purcell.

'We are honoured that the Honley Show Committee has chosen Kirkwood Hospice at its showcase charity in this our very special 20th anniversary year,' states Kirkwood Hospice Community Fundraiser Kate Leadbeater. 'We look forward to welcoming people on the day, supporting and celebrating a great community event and our local Hospice,' she adds.

Now three quarters of a Century old, the Honley Show is one of the North of England's premier outdoor agricultural shows, attracting enormous crowds from all points of the compass.

Designed very much as a family event with something for
everyone of all ages, the Show's gates will open this year at 8.30am. The
event will feature events as diverse as Punch & Judy, a tractor
parade, trampolines, face painting, the Kirklees Light Railway and a vintage
car display. In addition, of course, all the livestock in numerous classes
will be there to be seen including sheep, horses, pigs, cattle and goats.

Pets will also feature heavily again in 2007 with classes being contested in
rabbits, mice, cavies, dogs, poultry and many more.

Tickets for the show will be going on sale shortly and can be acquired from
a variety of outlets including Kirkwood Hospice's various shops. Discounted
tickets are also available from the Honley Show website at
www.honleyshow.co.uk

Honley Show Supports Kirkwood Hospice as Nominated Charity

Now three quarters of a century old, the Honley Show is one of the North of England's premier
outdoor agricultural shows, attracting enormous crowds from all points of the compass. Designed very much as a family event with something for everyone of all ages, this year's show will feature Kirkwood Hospice as the nominated charity.

'We are delighted to be associated with Kirkwood Hospice which does some wonderful work on behalf of residents in the area. Nominating them as our charity this year acknowledges its contribution to the community and we wish the Hospice ongoing success in all that it does,' states the Chairman of the Honley Show, Jim Purcell.

This year's show takes place on Saturday, June 9th at the huge Farnley Tyas showground and will feature events as diverse as Punch & Judy, a tractor parade, trampolines, face painting, the Kirklees Light Railway and a vintage car display. In addition, of course, all the livestock in numerous classes will be there to be seen including sheep, horses, pigs, cattle and goats.

Tickets for the show will be going on sale shortly and can be acquired from a variety of outlets including the Hospice. If you want to buy at the Hospice you will get a £1.00 discount off all adult, children's and concession tickets so it's a good idea to buy when you visit.

Discounted tickets are also available from the Honley Show website.

Last year's Show was something of a sizzler, with records being broken in several areas, especially in terms of attendance numbers and the glorious weather. The organisers are promising another excellent day so please come along to support the Hospice and enjoy a wonderful family day out.
