In the main marquee, enjoy exhibits of Flowers, Vegetables, Home Produce, Handicrafts and Art, with many Children’s Exhibit Competitions too.
Check out the Craft and Local Interest Tents, and don’t forget the Tug of War, the Dog with the Waggiest Tail Contest, and the infamous Egg Throwing Competition!
Schedules with details of all the classes you can enter are on the website, ruslandshow.org (entries by Saturday 8th August) and there are many fun events you can enter on the day. Please come along and get involved in one of Cumbria’s friendliest shows in one of the loveliest valleys in the South Lakes!
