After many years of holding the event at St Hedda’s School, the Egton Bridge Old Gooseberry Society said it is delighted that Olly and Laura Foster have offered the show a new home at the manor.

The society’s chairman Graeme Watson said: “We are very excited about this new development and once visitors see the facilities available, we are sure they will agree with the committee that this will be a major boost for the show."

Although there will be no Rose Queen ceremony this year in Littlebeck (it is usually the same day as the gooseberry show), a village fete will take place instead on Tuesday August 2, 2pm, in the village hall.

There will be the usual stalls, raffle, tombola and refreshments.
