The annual Border Shepherds Show, a traditional agricultural show or fair featuring sheep farming in the borders area of England and Scotland, is held on the second Saturday of October. The Alwinton show is the last agricultural show of the season in the borders area. Traditionally, it marks the end of summer and the time for hill farmers to begin preparations for winter.
It has a long tradition and the 150th show took place in 2016.

I always make a special effort to attend this entertaining little show which includes Cumberland & Westmorland wrestling, terrier racing, fell races, and of course lots of sheep and Border Collies.
