Skelton Show seeks volunteers for return of annual event

Skelton Show a traditional agricultural show for the whole family

After a gap of two years due to the pandemic, Skelton Show is determined to return and host its 126th show on Saturday 2nd July 2022 in the picturesque setting of Hutton-in-the-Forest.

However, to successfully run a show of this size in a Covid safe and secure manner, will require a lot of additional stewards and marshals. In order to keep the admission costs the same as previous years, the society are seeking additional volunteers to help on the day. 

Volunteer roles

New jobs include:

  • Ensuring the free flow of people particularly in tents through managing one-way systems
  • Ensuring sanitising stations are properly maintained and topped up
  • Helping gate and security stewards get people in and out of the event safely
  • Assisting people giving directions around the show field
  • Helping with any other required controls at the time of the events

Obviously, the Show Society will work closely with the Public Authorities to ensure that a safe event can be held in accordance with whatever guidelines are in force next July. 

Incentive for volunteers 

As an incentive, the society are offering an additional free ticket to all new volunteers who can give 4 hours or more on the day of the show with rotas drawn up to ensure volunteers have enough time to still enjoy the show. 

Anyone willing to help should contact John Slee on M: 07971 446286 | email john.slee@skeltonshow.com so a list of potential helpers can be compiled over the next few months and we have confidence to say that the ‘show will go on!’
