Bythams Primary were the winners of the first Kids Country “Country Soup Challenge”. A number of short-listed schools visited the Showground’s professional kitchens where our chefs helped the children produce soup designed by them.
The three finalists had their soups on sale at the Smithfield Festival and the most popular soup won a team trophy and book vouchers for the children. They really had worked hard to think through ways of designing and promoting an original soup.
One of our regular school supporters commented “thank you once again for another fabulous event. We all really enjoyed it and we all (including staff) learned something. Thank all your helpers again because the organisation was first class.”

Following on from the success of the livestock section at the East of England Show, the East of England Agricultural Society is keen to develop this area further and is delighted to announce its new Livestock Show on Friday 5th & Saturday 6th July.
The Livestock Show will be purely for beef cattle and sheep exhibitors with a range of breed classes and championships. The event will build on the already popular timetable from the previous summer shows.
Schedules and entry forms will be available at the end of February and can be downloaded from the Society website www.eastofengland.org.uk or contact the livestock office on 01733 234451 or livestock@eastofengland.org.uk
