we went as we knew what it was about and have an interest in this kind of thing and thought it was great and at a £5 to get in..well that was worth it., lots of different class of farm birds as well as sheep, and the shires were well presented..and the pimms was only a £1! although I didnt divulge in that - left that to the other half..and the hogg roast was the business.. 
all in all a great day and a much better venue that when at the showground..

Thank you for your input, we did look in the tents but got squashed looking at the rabbits because there was no full path.Parents with prams couldnt even get round!
We looked at the miniature gardens,the painted eggs. And then there was the so called petting corner,which has 2 sheep,1 cow that looked quite ill,a chicken that had turned itself into a coke bottle,1 goat and a spitting lama!
We did watch the horses and the birds and went at looked at the dogs.
Please do not assume that i went not knowing what it was about but my opinion still stands it was a
complete and total rip off !
£5 for each adult and £3 for each child,really wish i had gone to Darwen there there was a real show and no charge !
