Thousands to turn out for annual show

Crowds will take in the sights and sounds of two spectacular headline attractions, the Red Devils Parachute regiment and Blackrock Llama Centre agility display team, on Sunday, August 21.

The 12 man regiment and will perform a dazzling aerobatic parachute show.

Chairwoman of the Mirfield Show organising committee Karen Bullivant said: “I will be crossing my fingers, I will be relieved when I see the parachutists.

“It is a good family day out, exactly what people are looking for.”

And visitors will also be able to witness the UK’s only llama agility display team.

As seen on the Weekend Escapes ITV show, trainers will guide the llamas through an obstacle course.

Organisers are hoping once again to draw in the whole family, who can enjoy puppet shows, archery and wall climbing.
