Today, members of the Garstang Show community joined farmers from across the country in a peaceful protest, calling for stronger support for British farming. The demonstration, held in Westminster, aimed to raise awareness of the challenges faced by UK farmers and highlight the importance of homegrown food production.

Farmers, agricultural workers, and supporters gathered with banners and tractors to make their voices heard. They are calling for fair policies that protect the future of farming, ensure food security, and recognise the hard work of those in the industry. Many attendees emphasised the importance of buying British produce and supporting local farms.

The Garstang Show, a well-known event celebrating agriculture and rural life, has always been a strong advocate for the farming community. Representatives at the protest spoke about the need for greater recognition of British farmers’ contributions and the importance of maintaining a thriving agricultural sector.

The farming industry continues to be a vital part of the UK’s economy and countryside. As discussions continue, those at today’s protest hope to encourage more people to back British farming, ensuring a strong future for the next generation of farmers.

The Garstang Show will take place on 2 August 2025, offering a great opportunity for the public to connect with local farmers, learn more about agriculture, and celebrate rural traditions.
