Battens Solicitors supports the South West farming community by sponsoring three agricultural shows
Released On 17th Jul 2023
The Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show (16th -17 August), the Mid Somerset Show at Shepton Mallet (20 August), the Melplash Show at Bridport (24th August) and the Dorset County Show (2&3 Sept) are key events in the region’s farming calendar where the farming community can come together and enjoy a spectacular family day out.
The shows are being sponsored by Battens Solicitors and through the Battens Charitable Trust.
With everything from livestock and machinery displays to food, crafts, and plenty of fun activities, each of these shows offer an opportunity for the agricultural community to showcase its industry to a wider public.
Tracy Neal, Joint Head of Agriculture and Rural Property at Battens Solicitors said.
"Agriculture faces many challenges at the moment from climate change to the rising costs of raw materials due to the economic crisis so it is vital that we show our support to the farming community which is the lifeblood of the South West economy. Once again, we are proud to be sponsoring these fantastic events and we are looking forward to meeting up with old friends and new.”
