as confirmed . history founded in 1945 by the mirfield agricultural & horticultural society the first annual mirfield show took place on saturday 14th july 1945 in the memorial grounds opposite the current showground . the first show had horses cattle dogs rabbits poultry pigeons trade stalls horticulture and farm produce much of which remains today and within three years the show was bigger and better than ever with record entries from all over the country . the show continued to grow to a peak in the 1960s with record number of entries and visitors but after a brave battle following a few bad years the show ceased during the 1980s . in 1995 the idea to resurrect mirfield show was aired and mirfield agricultural society was founded and the show was moved to sunday 20th august to avoid a clash with the booming great yorkshire show . its new aim was to organise something which reflected the spirit of mirfield that was a fun day out for the whole family and that the people of mirfield would be proud of . subsequent years have seen many main ring attractions such as dog displays motorbikes sheep shearing majorettes roman re enactments birds of prey fire service displays bike displays shirehorses bushtucker trials and children s races with even more attractions such as archery fencing climbing walls steam trains pony rides silver bands farm animals and puppet shows across the showground . 2015 was the 70th anniversary making more history along the way . thanks you to everyone for coming along to join in the fun the army of volunteers and external support and also to
