With an impressive attendance, this hugely popular agricultural event brought together farmers, enthusiasts, and families from across the region for a memorable celebration of rural life. 

Once again our specialist Agriculture Team was out in force at the show, welcoming visitors who stopped by our marquee to chat and enjoy plenty of refreshments in the sun, including bacon rolls, a selection of pastries, and Pimm's.

There was no shortage of entertainment on offer, with some brilliant ring attractions including Bolddog FMX motorbike display, Colt Bandersnatch and his Magnificent Wild West Extravaganza horse riding display, and the ever-popular Essex Police Dog Section.

Once again, farming throughout the year was back, and guests watched in awe at The Jump Dogs parachute display (new for 2025) and cheered loudly during the ever-popular lawn mower racing. 

Over at the Livestock ring, locals could see the best cattle, pigs and sheep compete for the title of ‘Overall Champion’. There were also plenty of opportunities to shop at over 100 trade stands, as well rural crafts and food stalls. 

Alongside this, a selection of fairground rides and the popular tug-of-war competition ensured that there really was something for everyone. 

Caroline Peters , Head of our Agriculture Team, commented: “The Essex Young Farmers Show is a staple event in the farming calendar, and we are incredibly proud to be a part of it. Congratulations to the event organisers on another brilliant show, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year.” 

Young Farmers is one of the largest rural youth organisations in the UK and has supported young people from 16-28 with an interest in agriculture since 1943. The Essex Young Farmers Show has been running for over 50 years, organised and run by an elected committee of members.

As a long-established and dedicated supporter of the agricultural community, we are proud to continue our support of the Show and other high-profile farming events. 

We also use our expertise to produce a regular Agricultural Bulletin which provides information and updates on the many changes faced by the sector. To sign up and receive your copy, please visit our preference centre and register your interest.
