Lochaber Agricultural Show 2024

The Lochaber weather did it's best this year, but we weren't defeated and 2024 was another great show. Thank you to everyone who turned out and for your patience at the entrance whilst we did our best to get everyone parked where they wouldn't be lost in the mud. Thank you also to everyone involved behind the scenes. The weather made this one particularly difficult to organise before, during and after the show but everyone pulled together to make it work. Finally a special thanks to Ewen Campbell for the use of his field.. The fantastic back drop really helps to make the show special.

Lochaber's annual agricultural/horse/food/craft show is held beneath the spectacular backdrop of Ben Nevis at Inverlochy Castle Farm, Happy Valley, by kind permission of Ewen Campbell. Please look at our location page for details of how to get to the show.

Rated as one of the best UK Country Shows by the Guardian Newspaper
