The Hertfordshire County Show is returning to the Redbourn showground this month, with a packed schedule of farming, food, falconry and more.

The annual event takes place on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26, and visitors can enjoy a range of activities, shopping, live music and agricultural displays.

Main attractions include the gravity-defying motorbike display team Bold Dog Lings and Herts farmers display The Foxtrotting Forks.

Visitors can meet farmyard animals in the countryside area, and watch falconry and working sheep dog demonstrations - as well as the sheep show with dancing sheep.

Younger visitors can make their own 'Hertfordshire Pizza', and there will be food and live music all day at the farmer's bar.

Attendees can also pack a picnic or visit street food vendors on the village green, accompanied by performances from Todd Artists, Jupiter Singers and the Rock Choir.
