High Peak visitors set to flock to summer show

The Mottram Summer Show takes place on Sunday, 16 August 2026 and has been bringing people together since 1904. It is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit agricultural show celebrating farming, rural life and the local community, with all proceeds reinvested back into keeping this long-standing tradition going.

Uniquely positioned right on the borders of Derbyshire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester, the show regularly attracts visitors from across the wider High Peak and surrounding area.

Visitors can expect a full day of family-friendly entertainment including livestock competitions (cattle, sheep and horses), a family fun dog show, poultry, arts, handicrafts and cookery competitions, vintage tractors and military vehicles, sheep shearing demonstrations, birds of prey, live music, food and drink, fairground rides and an exciting new zipline attraction.

Organisers, the Mottram & District Agricultural Society, are also introducing new visitor facilities for 2026, including a Calm Zone in partnership with Tameside Neurodiversity Hub, a sheltered infant feeding area with seating and baby changing facilities, and on-site mobility scooter and wheelchair hire through Concord Mobility. Disabled parking and accessible toilets will also be available.
