Burley Village Show 2008
The 2008 Burley Village Show
The 2008 Burley Village Show was an enjoyable mix of competition, fun and celebration of all things Burley.
Held at Manor Park in Burley the event brought together villagers, tourists and plenty of pets, ponies, reptiles and even birds of prey. There was also a nice display of vintage vehicles, including motorcycles and a wonderful Ferguson Tractor.
One of the highlights of the show, for me was a display of old photographs from Burley, celebrating 100 years of the Burley Village Show. The first show was held in 1908, and long may it continue.
