Welcome to the West United
Agricultural & Horticultural Society
2008 West Show
Tuesday to Thursday 12th, 13th & 14th August
The West show is arguably Guernsey’s premier agricultural and horticultural show.
Held annually since 1913 the West show is a traditional country show with many
modern aspects.
The show starts on the Tuesday with horse events, Wednesday and Thursday
sees the show get into full swing with the tented competitions and
animal competitions together with the arena entertainment and side displays.
Held for the past 21 years on a site of approximately 35 acres at the former
L’Eree aerodrome, the West show is the highlight of the summer for many from
the western parishes who look forward to meeting up friends they haven’t seen
since the previous year and also of course people from all over the island and
visitors alike, with crowds of 8,000 over the two main days not unusual.
