Ashfield Show is set to make a return to Sutton Lawn after an absence of more than a decade. The announcement was made last week by Ashfield District Council leader, Cllr Jason Zadrozny. The decision follows the success of the inaugural Ashfield Day in 2022, when 12,000 people enjoyed a day of free family fun.
Sutton Lawn will host the extended three-day event, from Friday 9 August to Sunday 11 August. Organisers say that fuller details will be released in the coming months, but promise a range of activities including live music, community performances, food and drink, and a market village.
“I am ecstatic to be able to announce the highly anticipated return of the Ashfield Show”, Cllr Zadrozny said. “Residents have been telling us how much they missed the free show, so we have listened and we are bringing it back.
“It won’t quite be the show everyone remembers just yet, give us a couple of years to build it back up to that. However, the Ashfield Show will be a huge celebration of Ashfield and promises to be the best weekend of the year.”
