🎯 A LITTLE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED AT BOWES SHOW 2026! 🎱

Saturday 21st November | 7.30pm | Bowes Club

Bowes Show simply wouldn't happen without the many people who give up their time, lend a hand and muck in to help make the day a success.

Whether you're a committee member, helped with setting up or taking down, volunteered on Show Day or just stepped in wherever an extra pair of hands was needed, we'd love you to join us for a Games Night as a little thank you from all of us at Bowes Show.

This time, there are no gates to man, tents to put up or jobs to be done!

Just an evening of pool, darts, dominoes, a few drinks, good company and no doubt a little healthy competition!

It's our chance to say thank you, so please do come along – we'd love to see you there! 🍻

🚜 WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY FOR THE BOWES SHOW TRACTOR RUN! 🚜

What a turnout we had on Sunday, with 84 tractors of all makes, ages, shapes and sizes setting off from Bowes for this year’s Tractor Run.

The route took them through some fantastic Swaledale scenery — although they didn’t quite make it all the way round before the rain arrived! 🌧️🚜

We’re very happy to report that all 84 tractors completed the route — not a single breakdown! 👏

Apologies for the delay in sharing an update. Internet problems on Sunday unfortunately meant we weren’t able to post anything from the day.

A huge thank you to for providing a fantastic lunch stop and putting on such a wonderful lunch for everyone.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to Richmond Motor Club and their team. A motorbike trial was taking place on part of the tractor run route at the same time, and we’re delighted to report that tractors and motorbikes all negotiated the shared section safely. Huge credit must go to the marshals for their excellent work in managing that section and keeping everyone moving safely.

Thank you also to our judge, Colin Longstaff, who certainly didn’t have an easy task with such a varied line-up of tractors to choose from! The trophy once again went to David Tutty — congratulations David! 🏆

A big thank you to everyone who helped organise the run and to our breakfast committee, who had a particularly early start making sure everyone was fed and ready for the off!

And of course, thank you to all 84 drivers and their passengers, as well as everyone who turned out in Bowes to see the tractors set off. It was fantastic to see so many people there to wave them on.

84 tractors, spectacular Swaledale scenery, a little bit of rain and no breakdowns — we’ll call that a successful Tractor Run! 🚜👏
