The competition has always been the highlight of the show
Simon said: “It’s like having a classic car stood for three years doing nothing. It takes a bit of starting up again. We’ve lost some of those who would have come with a tradestand or exhibit, either purely because some are no longer with us or have sadly gone out of what they were doing, but we’ve managed to bring it back to life with a lot of effort from everyone and we’re delighted to be back.
The show has been held at Poplars Farm since 1970, having had a wandering life through the village previously.Simon said the status of Poplars Farm as the show venue is wholly down to the generosity of the local farmer who used to farm there, David Fox. place. He’s still very involved with the show as vice president. Without David and our team of volunteers we’d be sunk."“We are only a little show. We attract around 3,000 on show day, but we have a good selection of beef cattle and sheep. We have around 30 cattle with classes for commercial and pedigree and a number of showmen and women competing that will take their stock to the bigger shows.
Where Sykehouse Show throws above its height is with their unique sheaf tossing competition, a traditional highlight of the show and run by many years by local farmer John Duckitt and now by his son Mark.“I don’t know of any other show that does it. It all relates back to the times when pre-mechanisation in farming farmers and farm labourers would have to toss sheafs high for stacking straw.
