Although the shuttle bus is free a donation in the bucket towards the cost of the fuel would be most appreciated. Monies given will go to show funds which in turn are donated to various charities.
Although continuing to be popular with residents and visitors alike, Eccleshall Show relies on the support of sponsors and the many hard working volunteers who make the event possible year on year. This is why the committee are pleased
