SHOW TIME!
THE Burdekin Show has touched down in Ayr once again, with visitors flocking to the showgrounds to be wowed by dinosaurs, live animals, agricultural competition and rides and entertainment. Competitors across equestrian, agriculture, livestock and the arts battled for crowns in their chosen categories in the event’s first return since 2019.
Live entertainment, provided by local Taylor Escriva in the form of equestrian trick-shows and the travelling Eljay freestyle motorcycle entertainment in the afternoon, as well as a curtain closing fireworks show during the evening.
