 Show makes return this August bank holiday weekend
The Swallowfield Show is back with several new attractions and returning favourites for families this year.
This year's show takes place at Swallowfield Park on Sunday 25 and Monday 26 August, with the gates open from 10am to 5.30pm.
There will be amazing acts performing on both days, more than 100 stalls, a display of more than 150 classic vehicles and machinery and the popular dog and horse shows.
Children can look forward to fun in the activity zone, which is free for the first time this year. This includes circus skills workshops and crazy golf.
The show is organised and run by volunteer members and friends of the Swallowfield Horticultural Society. Last year, they were able to donate more than £24,000 to charities.
Tickets are £13.50 for adults and children (under 18s) get free entry.
 Join speedway enthusiasts for their annual reunion
A celebration of British speedway is coming to California Country Park in Finchampstead.
Friends of Speedway is holding its 18th California-in-England Speedway Reunion on 8 September from 11am to 4pm.
You are encouraged to bring along any speedway memorabilia, whether it is vintage programmes, rare photographs or cherished souvenirs. Share your treasures with fellow enthusiasts and relive history together at this annual celebration.
An information board was erected prior to last year's reunion, celebrating the history of speedway at California Country Park. From the 1930s to the 1950s, the park was home to a speedway track.
At the reunion, you will find a stunning line-up of speedway bikes and the old speedway track, with the original concrete starting grid.
 Take in picturesque countryside with charity walk
Enjoy a five-mile walk through the countryside with the return of Walk 4 Wards on Sunday 1 September.

Entry is £15 per adult, £10 per child, £50 for a group of four people and £40 for two adults and two children.
Dogs are welcome and for young walkers, there is a scavenger hunt to keep them entertained along the walk, which starts at 9.30am.
