Burniston Show To Return?

A village show with over a hundred years of history may be returning to the Yorkshire Coast next year.

Burniston Show was last held in 2019 and it was the end of an era when the show committee made the decision to no longer hold the event. There was much village history in the show and descendants of the show’s founders still live in the village today.

When the show committee disbanded, its residual funds were passed to the Burniston Parish Council as ring-fenced funds, the intention being that the Parish Council could facilitate the formation of a viable show management committee which could run a similar event within six miles of the parish of Burniston.

A meeting was held early in 2020 and the makings of a committee were emerging - then Covid 19 struck and everything changed.  Burniston Parish Council is now again trying to get enough people together to form a show management committee which will re-start a Burniston Show in 2023.

There's a public meeting in Burniston and Cloughton Village Hall on Monday 15th August at 7pm, organisers are asking for interested people to come along so ideas can be floated and exchanged with a view to continuing what is a special event for the area.

They add it would be a great shame to lose 130 years of village and agricultural history if the show can't be re-started.

Burniston Parish Council chairman Richard Parsons has been talking to Paddy about the show:
