The Nantwich Show
The Nantwich Show returns on Wednesday 29 July 2026, drawing families, food producers, and visitors from Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, and North Wales. We bring together a huge mix of activities, local produce, and entertainment for all ages. The event takes place at Reaseheath College, Nantwich's own agricultural college.
You’ll find more than 300 trade stands across agricultural, motor vehicle, professional services and lifestyle. There’s food, crafts, homewares, and outdoor gear, all in one place. We see families making memories, kids running between stands, and producers sharing their best work with new faces.
