Get set for the biggest celebration on the county’s calendar as the Royal Norfolk Show returns on June 26-27

Young Diamonds Tribute

The theme of this year's show is Young Achievers, and on the Wednesday of the show, the Norfolk Lieutenancy working in partnership with the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association will be holding the Young Diamonds Tribute. There will be a massed gathering in the Mills and Reeve-sponsored Grand Ring, where young people who have been nominated to take part - young carers, high achievers and those who are making a positive difference in their communities - will be addressed by the Lord Lieutentant of Norfolk, The Lady Dannatt.

Norfolk Young Farmers 80th Anniversary Display

As well as celebrating their 80th anniversary, Norfolk Young Farmers will also be commemorating the 80th anniversary of D Day. Their stand will feature traditional fun fair-style games inspired by the era created and model wheelbarrow aeroplanes. They will also be showcasing a range of farming machinery and techniques from the 1940s up to the present day in the Grand Ring, sponsored by Mills and Reeve.

Atkinson Action Horses

Atkinson Action Horses have worked on some of the biggest shows on TV, including Poldark, Peaky Blinders and All Creatures Great And Small. This year they make their first appearance at the Royal Norfolk Show in the Grand Ring, sponsored by Mills and Reeve, with their spectacular Celebration of the Horse.

The breathtaking performance, which includes Cossack trick riding, showcases the power and grace of these amazing animals.
