And there are trade and craft stalls, models and collectables, a car boot sale, an animal section, children`s entertainment, novelty dog shows, a bar and refreshments..
Show organiser, Ian Harper said: “We hope the public will continue to support us. As well as the commercial benefits of bringing visitors into Monmouth, the show has raised a significant amount of money for local charities."
