Significant events
- “This year, for the first time, the LandAlive regenerative farming programme was hosted within the Show.”
- “Year-end net debt increased from £301k to £486k, due to an HP agreement during the year to fund the Solar Panels on the Grandstand roof. Capital expenditure rose to £568k (2024: £145k) due in part to the essential replacement of the Grandstand roof and the office refurbishment.”
- “Following discussion with its water supplier regarding overpaid sewerage charges the Society received a further £20k during 2025.”
