We are excited to announce a brand-new event for the 2025 Ellingham Show — the Young Farmers Bale Race!
Teams from the Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, and Avon Valley Young Farmers Clubs, along with a special squad representing the Ellingham Show Bursary, will compete head-to-head in the Main Ring. The challenge is to roll a giant straw bale around a course in the fastest time possible.
Expect a fast-paced and entertaining race full of energy, skill, and team spirit — a great showcase of the next generation of farming talent.
Supporting Young Farmers
Each year, the Ellingham Show offers a bursary to support young people in attending agricultural college. Our current Chairman, Tom Hasted, and Heavy Horse Secretary, Molly Peters, are proud to be past recipients of this support.
Join us at the 2025 show to cheer on the Young Farmers in this exciting new event!
