The Graves Park Country Show is set to take place on bank holiday Monday, May 5, for its 11th year running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Llama trekking, birds of prey and a mountain biking show are promised when the popular country event will return to Sheffield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event also includes various rides and shows of animals, and attendees will be able to see the Graves Park Animal Farm, which is free to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The animal farm is home to many rare breeds, and allows visitors to get up close to animals such as pigs, goats, donkeys, cattle and sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local businesses and food stalls will also be in attendance and there will be an artisan craft marquee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among other events, a pet dog show will be held in conjunction with Thornberry Animal Sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entry to the event is free of charge, but certain attractions and stalls will require payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The annual show is very popular with families and those with young children, and is expected to be busy this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, the event attracted a huge attendance, and difficulty parking was an common issue among many visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spokesperson on the Welcome to Sheffield website said: “We are expecting a busy day at Graves Park, so if you are coming by car, then please expect delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We would encourage anyone to use public transport or those close enough to walk to enjoy a stroll through the park to the event.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year there were also issues with contactless payments not working properly, resulting in problems for attendees paying for the individual activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graves Park is Sheffield’s biggest park in the South West of the city, and this size will come to good use when the large number of visitors arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The park is made up of a majority of open green space, multiple streams, and areas of woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graves Park was developed between 1926 and 1936 by \u00a0Alderman J. G. Graves, in an attempt to protect surrounding woodland from development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show will run from 10am until 5pm, meaning a lot of time for prospective attendees to make the most of the event and any nice weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
