Last updated 30th Jun 2022
It's the second and final day of the Royal Norfolk Show 2022, with thousands of people expected at the showground just outside Norwich.
Day one was marked by a Royal visit from Princess Anne, with the Queen also delivering a special message to showgoers.
Hundreds of Norfolk schoolchildren took part in a "big sing" to mark the Jubilee year - a tribute that didn't go unnoticed by Her Majesty.
A message sent via a royal aide read: "The Queen was pleased to receive your kind message of loyal greetings, sent on behalf of all those participating in the Big Sing at the Royal Norfolk Show which is being held on June 29 and 30 to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.
"The Queen much appreciates your thoughtfulness in writing as you did and, in return, sends her warm good wishes to all concerned for a most enjoyable event.”
It's the first time the show has been back since Covid with a total of 90 thousand people expected to attend.
What can visitors expect:
This year’s show will welcome the Junkyard Market, the Shetland Pony Derby, a new agricultural demo area with autonomous tractors and robots - for the first time.
While the Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display team, Horse of the Year Show qualifiers, Adnams Food and Drink Experience, cattle parades, the rare breeds animal farm, vintage funfair rides, cookery demonstrations, will be returning to the showground again.
There's a number of experiences to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year, including the Woodforde’s Jubilee Square and the Royal Salute, over both days.
"Ticket sales have been extremely strong all year"
Mark Nicholas is managing director of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association: “Ticket sales have been extremely strong all year, but thanks to a combination of pent-up demand, great weather, a phenomenal line-up and the county’s love for the show, we’re delighted to be expecting big crowds for both days of the show.”
If you're planning on coming down to the show:
Show organisers are encouraging those coming to the show to plan ahead, leave in good time and buy their tickets in advance.
First and Konectbus are both running services to the showground and there are secure cycle parking facilities near the King George VI gate at the showground by the public drop off area on Dereham Road.
