Organised by the East of England Agricultural Society, visitors to the show can expect to see thousands of animals of all shapes and sizes, from small livestock exhibits including mice and fancy rats to special displays of rare and endangered livestock breeds. Returning for it‚s third year, the East of England Giant Vegetable Competition will show the fruits of a season of hard work by the region's vegetable growers.
