On the third Saturday of August, the Playing Fields of Tysoe holds the largest village event of the year. Thousands of people flock to see our main ring attractions; this year 2026, we are thrilled to feature Fens Falconry, plus new to the show; Urban Displays bike stunt show.

We take pride in maintaining a traditional atmosphere, showcased through rural craft demonstrations from a local farrier, the Stratford Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, and Shipston Bee Keepers.

The beloved Dog show is a must, as well as the Gundog display team. New for this year, visitors can also meet a range of friendly animals, including donkeys, turkeys, alpaca and sheep.

For motoring enthusiasts, the Tysoe Flower Show is the perfect day out. Get up close to dozens of vintage, classic, and working vehicles from around the world on the event showground.

The day features diverse entertainment, from Bakayoko drumming sessions and the Shipston Town Band to archery, Morris Men, and fairground rides. A wide selection of food and drink stalls will be available to suit every taste. For those looking to shop, Petticoat Lane offers a vast array of goods, alongside displays from local charities.

But it has to be said that the heart of the show lies in its traditional flower, produce and craft competition in the main marquee. Here, residents and visitors alike showcase their skills in growing beautiful blooms, nurturing giant vegetables, putting their artistic talents to the test in the craft section and creating delicious baked goods, wines and preserves, all to be scrutinised by the official judges.
