The future of the Garstang Show has been safeguarded following the purchase of the main show field by the Garstang & District Agricultural & Horticultural Society.

The announcement was made at the Society’s latest committee meeting, where Chair Helen Hands confirmed that the Society had completed the acquisition.

“This is a hugely significant moment for the Society,” she said. “We are now the proud owners of the show field, which is at the very heart of the Garstang Show. It means we can protect the event’s future for many years to come.”

The news was met with warm applause from members, recognising the importance of securing permanent ownership of the land.

The move ensures long-term stability for the show, which is one of the area’s most popular annual events, drawing crowds from across Lancashire and beyond. With both the show field and the existing car park field now under the Society’s ownership, organisers say the future of the event is firmly rooted in the community.

Further details about upcoming plans will be announced in due course, but for now the Society is celebrating a historic milestone in its history.
