The society was founded in 1872 and this year is celebrating its 150th year with a special anniversary show on Wednesday August 3rd.
Traditionally, Cartmel Show always takes place on the first Wednesday in August.
The society was originally formed on June 10th, 1872 during a meeting in the Cavendish Arms in the village.
After a two-year absence due to the global pandemic, organisers have revealed an increase in the number of competitors this year. In particular, the sheep section enjoying huge numbers of entries.
Livestock and horse classes will take centre stage on show day with the introduction of the Valais Blacknose sheep class being a new entry to the show.
The show is put on with dedicated volunteers, and, with the increased number of entries make, the whole day a great success.
Cartmel Show is a great family day out, and, as ever, local food producers will play a large part on the day with the Cumbrian Food Hall displaying food and drink to keep punters refreshed

Tickets are available on their website or on the gate on the day.
