As we head into late summer (have we even had a summer?) thoughts turn to the Westmorland County Show which is being held on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th September 2024 at Lane End Farm near Crooklands.

If you have been, you will know just how good the show is.  There is something for everyone whether you are a farmer or not and is a real highlight of the year.

A diverse mix of the best of farming and countryside – you can watch livestock showing and judging, equestrian events and other demonstrations.  You can sample locally produced foods, watch cookery demos, or indulge in some retail therapy in the food and craft tents or at the many trade stands.  You can listen to live music or admire the crafts in the WI and Schools tents.

It a place where farmers, locals and visitors alike can mix, catch up with old friends and learn.

As a proud supporter and sponsor of the Show, we recognise its importance to the community – many of our clients are involved in rural businesses or simply live in rural locations.  This is their show and we love being a part of it.  It is a great opportunity to be able catch up with our clients as well as our professional contacts, and also to meet new people.

We are back on our usual corner plot (stand C93) where you can meet the team from the Rural Law Practice and our other legal offices, together with some of the sales and letting teams from Thomson Hayton Winkley Estate Agents.

Once again, we will be serving tea/coffee and cake throughout the day, and cheese and wine at lunchtime (which always goes down well!) You are more than welcome to come and join us.

On the Wednesday morning (between 8 am and 10 am) we will be hosting breakfast, in aid of the Addington Fund.  If you are there bright and early, please call in for a coffee and pastry in return for a donation to the Fund.

Fingers crossed for some sunshine.  But come rain or shine we look forward to welcoming you to our stand.  See you there!
