Guilsfield set for ‘Have a Go Show”
The popular show, which is held at Fron-Y-Fele Field in Groeslwyd, is a community run event that promises a great day out with something for everyone.
The main show includes sections for horses, dogs, horticulture, cookery, photography, floristry, arts and crafts and many more. There is a full day of entertainment in the main ring, including children’s races in the afternoon.
Organisers of the show are keen for as many people as possible to “have a go” and once again there will be no entry fee to any of the individual classes, except for the horse section whereby each competitor will pay £5 to cover their entry to as many horse classes that they wish to enter, excluding show jumping and working hunter.
“Your ticket includes entry to all the fun of the show - from livestock classes and competitions to exhibitions, entertainment, and more. If you're entering any classes, there’s no extra charge - it's all included in the price of your ticket! Just Remember to get your entry forms in on time.
“Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time visiting, we can’t wait to welcome you!”
The shows will continue into the evening with a live music event, which has proved to be a great success with many people staying on to enjoy some great music and a drink in sunshine.
This year’s Show President is Alexander Trevor, who grew up at Trawscoed Hall in Guilsfield. After working away for 10 years he has recently moved back with his family and takes a great interest in events in the local area.
Guy added: “The Show Committee was delighted when Alexander accepted the invitation to be our 2025 Show President.”
Entry to the show costs £10 for adults and £5 for children, with a family ticket for two adults and two children available for just £20. For those people who can’t make it earlier but want to enjoy the live music and bar in the afternoon, there is a separate ticket (adult £5) covering from 3.30pm until 7pm.
Show Chairman, Guy Ennever, continued: “Guilsfield Show is self-funding and relies on enormous support of our local community, show-goers and sponsors, but in addition we aim to raise money for charitable causes.
“This year, our Show President, Alexander Trevor, has chosen Wales Air Ambulance and Guilsfield School PTA as the show charities. Last year’s Show Presidents, Sue and Lloyd Charmley, nominated Brain Tumour Research and Lingen Davies Cancer Fund as their chosen charities. Following the show, a £1,500 donation was made to each. We also made a donation on behalf of the dog show to Guilsfield Church to fund their community projects."
