peasepud 59 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Decided it might be nice to take the little fella upto the show at Corbridge, see some animals, take in the smell of the country, that sort of thing. Took over two hours to get into the car park then had to walk through 2 more before getting to the entrance, a tenner per adult meant we shelled out twenty notes to get inside only to find it was just a big collection of burger vans with some tractors parked up. The only animals we saw were some sheep in pens, the only smell was a heady concoction of charver sweat, stale beer, piss and fried onions. Not a farm produce stall in sight, just one big Quayside market with a mini hoppings at the edge. Next year its back to Evolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38946 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Took my little 'un for a walk from Tynemouth Priory to the Fish Quay and back. There was a steel band at the Fish Quay playing Santana, salsa stuff, and (brilliantly) In the Mood by Glenn Miller. She freaked out, dancing like a maniac and pulling shapes all over. Haven't laughed so much in ages. ( sorry to hear about the County Show, these farmer types are easily pleased tho. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35027 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 You should know better tbh. Any event like this that attracts the general public in large numbers is nailed-on to be shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We just went to Gibside yesterday and it happened to have kids attractions on. Member of the national trust so it cost nowt to get in (usually £8 I think). Cracking grounds to walk around. The stuff for the kids was like planting seeds and stuff. Its a canny place just to hang about though if you like outdoors stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17892 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The show caused major congestion yesterday afternoon on the A69 between Hexham and Corbidge. Filthy farmer fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year its back to Evolution Lived near there for a few years, back in Newcastle now but you've got to have been brought up in that lifestyle, because they're a bunch of funny cunts and these shows are shit!

Yeah it's funny because those that live in the country think people who live in big towns or Cities are funny cunts as well, think they put it down to all the fumes.

Was planning to go to the North Yorks county show near Thirsk in June but definitely dont want to do it if its like the one you've been too. http://www.northyorkshireshow.co.uk/ Just got back from this and without doubt one of the best value for money days out we've had in a long time. Arrived at 8.30 and just got back at 5 Loads of traditional animal stuff, best of breeds etc, dog display team, horse stunt show, show jumping, coach driving displays. Ferret racing, join in archery, tents and tents of crafts, farmers Market foods stuff. Old car rally with gorgeous pristine cars, camera and motorbikes. A steam rally with steam rollers and loads more engines. Can't really praise this show enough and would reccomend it to you all for next year. We've had such a great time that were even thinking of attending the really big county show in Harrogate, later in the year. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6317 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I remember as a kid being dragged up to the Alwinton Show as my Dad had a stall up there. Pissed it down constantly IIRC but a great day out. Pisser about the Northumberland Show Pud. Shite if they're not doing farm produce - best thing about living down South is the town has a farmer's market once a month and the produce is fucking awesome. Meat that you can only dream of finding in a supermarket, cheeses and fresh baked breads to die for and the veg is top notch. Have regularly gone there with £40 and needed to find a cash point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
