It is with great sadness and reluctance that we announce the closure of the annual Blackwater Country Show.

During the last 17 years we have been a proud part of the Essex event calendar, bringing together local communities, organisations, charities and businesses. Successfully running 15 shows, the event has raised over £100,000 for the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance, and donated to many other local community charities which are close to our hearts.

With the unpredictability of the current economic climate and rising costs, we have decided to close the show.

We would like to say a personal thank you to everyone who has supported the show over the years; to our friends and families, volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors, and visitors that have made the show so memorable over the years.

Warmest regards

Blackwater Country Show Team
