AGS show dates in 2015

[Maggi Young]

The next AGS show is the Bakewell Show which will be held on   Sunday, 14 June - 12.00 noon to 4.00 pm
(Plant sales open at 10.00, Show open after judging completed at approximately 11.30)
at the Agricultural Business Centre, Agricultural Way, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1AH - it seems some satnavs will take you to not quite the right place, so perhaps best to check maps online for those visiting for the first time.
