Rotherham Show is one of the most anticipated events in the town’s social calendar. One of the largest free events in the north it is guaranteed to bring fun and entertainment to around 70,000 visitors. The weekend is a time when the whole community can get together to celebrate what is good about our town. It is a time for us to come together as “one town, one community”, and to enjoy live music, a wealth of entertainment, and a large number of events. This year, as usual, it is being held in our award winning Clifton Park just 10 minutes’ walk from the town centre. Now in its 3rd decade, the show has a wide range of activities for all ages and tastes and many varied stalls and exhibitors. There are still many old favourites, and some new additions this year which include Rother FM Music Festival, held at the bandstand, and the Yorkshire Strongman Competition, which is sure to give the crowd a “lift”. That RMBC hosts and organises such a successful event makes me extremely proud and whenever anybody asks me to give an example of Rotherham at its best I immediately think of this beautiful award winning park and this amazing show. Months of planning goes into making sure the weekend goes ahead, with enough to entertain the thousands who visit and ensure that everyone leaves happy. I would like to thank the council events team who put the whole thing together and the many council staff who help with everything from car parking to litter picking. A special big thanks has to go to the other organisations who support this weekend - the police, ambulance service, fire service and Air Cadets, to name a few, also to Flutterbies Nursery for their support at this year’s show. Our sponsor this year, Dearne Valley College, deserves a special mention. However, the most important thank you goes to you, the visitors to the show who support and help make the event one to remember. We know that Rotherham is a town with a big heart and together we will show that the heart of it, this weekend, is at the Rotherham Show. Tell your friends and family, let them see Clifton Park, and Rotherham, at its best and let’s be proud of our town together. Enjoy this great show!
