Alrewas Show

Alrewas Autumn Gathering

Come and join us for a series of community events around Alrewas over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of September.

Due to the COVID pandemic we have missed 2 successive Alrewas Shows (the only time this has ever happened in peacetime) and the 2020 Arts Festival, both of which are a major part of our village life.

So as we emerge from lockdown our Alrewas Show, Alrewas Arts Festival and Alrewas Island volunteers have created a relaxed outdoor series of events to give our local community the opportunity to get together and have some fun:

We have 2 main events planned:

Saturday 4th September 10am – 5pm: Horses, Hounds and more
A mini country show on the Alrewas Show field, with something for all the family, including Horse shows, classic cars, vintage tractors, dog show and agility display, working crafts displays, live band music and more.
There’ll be snacks and refreshments on sale and a licensed bar.
Free parking - but please come on foot if you can!

Sunday 5th September 11am – 5pm: ArtsFest on the Island!
A selection of Arts Festival activities plus some new ones.
Limited free disabled parking. No other parking is available on site so please do not come by car.

Further information can be found on the event website: www.alrewasautumngathering.co.uk

All proceeds from the events will be distributed to local charities and good causes.

Let's get together and start making up for lost time!

Working Crafts

As part of our charitable objectives, we aim to help preserve traditional crafts, many of which are in danger of dying out as they are no longer passed on down the generations.

You can see live demonstrations of many of these crafts throughout Show Day. in 2019 we had the following crafts on display:

  • Beekeeping
  • Blacksmith Crafts
  • Crochet
  • Dress making
  • Felting
  • Glasswear
  • Jewellery making
  • Mosaic making
  • Photography
  • Pyrography
  • Textile design
  • Tweed craft
  • Wildlife painting
  • Wood turning

Just drop into the Working Crafts tent at any time, there'll always be something going on!
