The Fillongley Agricultural Society was formed in 1919 by local farmers to promote all branches of Agriculture in the District and facilitate friendly competition. The first Show was held at Coundon Park in the same year and attracted some 300 entries. It then moved to Long Lane before settling at its present location sometime in the 1960s Our show has been held every year with interruptions only when we suffered with outbreaks of foot and mouth and for 3 years during the wars.
The Society has moved with the times and our annual show is not just for farmers but for everyone and all ages. The show has been on the current site for many years and is held on the second Sunday of August each year. All are very much welcome! If you would like even more involvement with the Society you are welcome to become a member, contact the secretary for details.
