Eskdale Show 150th Year

Eskdale Show 150th Year

On Saturday 29th September 2018 Eskdale Show will be running for its 150th time.


Eskdale Show is the oldest and premier show for Herdwick sheep. Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Eskdale fells we have something for everyone. This years show is on Saturday 29th September 2018.

The show has been running for 154 years with a few gaps, so the 2018 show is our 150th event. It was founded as a result of the desire to improve the breed of the local Herdwick sheep.

The show is held near the King George IV Inn, in Eskdale, Cumbria. You can find some advice about travelling to see us and a map showing the location and parking details under "Find Us"
