Euston Park Rural Pastimes Event has now been held every June for 24 years. It began as a fundraising show for our local Blackbourne Churches and St Nicholas' Hospice Care with the kind permission of our President The Duke of Grafton, who allowed the event to be held in the magnificent setting of Euston Park. Together with John Farrow (the farm manager at that time) and Tim Fogden we set up a volu

nteer committee, which has continued to run this successful one day Show. We have raised very nearly £400,000 for our causes over the years. The programme has been broadly similar each year, but with increasing entries the demand for space has required more parking and display areas. A new entrance between the stationary engines and stalls, leads past the traction engines to the new Grafton Ring specifically for tractors. The main Norfolk Ring has a constant programme of events, displays, demonstations and parades.It is surrounded by band music, a busy tea tent and further stalls. Leading past the Craft Tent, the Suffolk Ring is home to a large display of Heavy Horses. It has also been associated with a magnificent display of flowers in Euston Church. There are several catering outlets, but the most popular are the excellent lunches served in the Hall kitchen. We will very much keep to the same format and hope we will continue to attract the numbers, which filled the car park completely last year.

Our Story

Euston Park Rural Pastimes Event has now been held every June for 29 years. It began as a fundraising show for our local Blackbourne Churches and St Nicholas' Hospice Care with the kind permission of our President The Duke of Grafton, who allowed the event to be held in the magnificent setting of Euston Park. Together with John Farrow (the farm manager at that time) and Tim Fogden we set up a volunteer committee, which has continued to run this successful one day Show. We have raised very nearly £500,000 for our causes over the years. The programme has been broadly similar each year, but with increasing entries the demand for space has required more parking and display areas. A new entrance between the stationary engines and stalls, leads past the traction engines to the new Grafton Ring specifically for tractors.
