The 2024 Falstone Show took place on Saturday 24th August.
With the sun shining for most of the day and only a few light showers nothing could dampen the sprits.
Competition was highly competitive in all classes as usual. The adults chatted and debated, while the children played. Results and photos from the day are available now. They can be viewed at Gallery 2024 & Winners 2024. More photos and info from the day also on our Facebook Page

The move back to the old venue felt like we had never been away.
The Show is a friendly and welcoming public event exhibiting the livestock, working animals, skills and sports associated with local agriculture and the community. This traditional rural event also includes activities for children, trade stands, competitions, food & drink and entertainment.
The Falstone Border Shepherds’ Show was established in 1885, but reluctantly had to be cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to restrictions and uncertainty as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The Show Committee thank everyone for their past, current and continuing help and support. Held in Falstone Northumberland each August, the Show includes classes for Blackfaced, Swaledale Cross, Mule Sheep and ‘Any other breed’, shepherds’ dogs, terriers, hounds, sheep dog trial, vegetables, cakes, eggs, sewing, knitting, sticks, children’s work, homemade drinks, photography, children’s and adult’s sports, fell race, quoits, pony sports and jumping. Unfortunately the Pony Sports have had to be cancelled this year, due to lack of entries. Hopefully they will be back next year.
