A record crowd of more than 2,000 people visited the Southwick Show on Bank Holiday Monday as the weather stayed fine for the fun-filled event.

Show organisers were delighted with the turnout at the annual village show, which raises much-needed funds for local charities and organisations.

Show committee member Catherine Smith said: “We had a really busy day. There were probably about 2,000 plus people there. It was definitely busier than last year.

“The weather was beautiful and the sun came out as it does for us every Bank Holiday. Everyone was buzzing.

"Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support the show today. We hope you all had the best time.

“I’d also like to give a huge shout out to our volunteers, and those that helped with the nitty gritty like bins and the PA system etc.

"Without people willing to give up their time to help the day before and on the day, we would really struggle.

"We are only a very small team of volunteers who spend the year planning this, so all help no matter how big or small, it is a great help, and you are all greatly appreciated."

Catherine, 38, added: "The feedback from everyone has been really good. Many people have said what a fabulous day out they have had and how well organised the show is."

Trowbridge Town Crier Trevor Heeks once again opened the show, which was held in Southwick Village Hall and the village playing field.

The show featured more than 30 stalls and exhibitors, vintage and classic vehicles, including steam engines and tractors and wood-sawing demonstrations.

Young magician Oli Clark, 13, from Trowbridge, known by his stage name Revilo, also entertained visitors with his magic tricks.

He is currently on a local tour to raise funds for Alzheimer's Support in Warminster in honour of his grandmother, who is living with dementia.
