On Easter Sunday and Monday Thame Country Fair returned to the town’s showground off Kingsley Road.

Visitors witnesses animal demonstrations, inventive races, and spectacular stunt displays. Known locally as Thame Show, it is the biggest farming themed event which takes place within the county of Oxfordshire.

Living Heritage Events organised the showcase which included ‘horse-boarding’ demonstrations where animals dragged round participants on modified wakeboards, and high-flying motorbike jumps and many more risk-defying challenges from Stannage Stunt team.

Scurry driving also took place within the main arena where drivers in carriages were sped around the country ground by two horses. Cookery demonstrations also took place at the local showcase.

Animal displays were also held by nature experts with falconry and ‘the world of dogs’ events drawing crowds. A craft village was erected in the Thame fields allowing visitors to check out handmade items and specially designed mementos.

Vendors populated the show’s ‘food glorious food’ section with street foods and drinks organisations popped up by a music marquee. Foods, wines, and spirits were provided by local and national producers and retailers in the fine food halls.

A chainsaw carving arena was set up at the site with some of the items that were put up for sale at the end of the day. Guests could also witness ‘speed carving’ at the area.

A children’s entertainment section included fairground rides and amusement attractions. A lego mosaic was also on display at the event, which also included a shooting village, and live music performers roaming the large-scale entertainment site.
