There is plenty for children as well – they can learn to juggle, ride on the toddler fun fair, watch puppet shows and explore the arboretum or watch Huxley Birds of Prey soar through the skies.

A spokesman said: “Please be aware that the showground layout will be altered a little so that physical distancing can be maintained and other safety regulations will be implemented so you may be confident that everyone’s well-being and good health comes first.

“There will be necessary changes as some of our regular exhibitors are unable to attend however the heart of the show remains the same: to support the smaller business and have a good day out in a beautiful location.”

Social-distancing measures will be in place at the event in Rowlands Castle from September 4-6, and face coverings will be required in marquees.
