Stalybridge Spring Show returns this weekend

All the fun of the fair comes to Stalybridge's Cheetham Park this Sunday when the annual Stalybridge Spring Show arrives.

Organising Secretary Ian Cochrane says the Festival Committee, which organise the event each year, have once again arranged a bumper-filled day of activities for all the family.

The Spring Show opens at 11am and will include live entertainment from 12 noon. 

This will include a large family fun fair, hot food stalls and a large number of trader and community stalls. 

Maypole dancing will take centre stage again in the Performance Arena in the park, with members of the Sarah England School of Dance performing several choreographed dances in their spectacular outfits.

For animal lovers there will be the return of the ever popular Fun Dog Show starting at 1.45pm. Anyone who would like to enter their dogs need only go along and register on the day. The entry fee is £2 per category. The categories will be:

· Dog with the Loveliest Eyes,

· Dog with the Waggiest Tail,

· The Cutest Puppy,

· Best Presented Dog,

· Best Rescue Dog.

The winner of each category will also be competing for the title of Best Dog in Show. There will also be Dog Agility demonstrations throughout the day in its own performance area. Young members of Perform With Hart will be showcasing their talents to bring the curtain down on the festivities.

Ian added: “There will be lots of activities for all the family to have a great day out in the park and help us raise extra funds towards this year’s Stalybridge Carnival.”

The carnival itself takes place on June 22.
