It's win-win for footie fans at the Cotswold Show

Where: Cirencester Park

When: Saturday, July 7, and Sunday, July 8

Football fans visiting the Cotswold Show and Food Festival on Saturday afternoon need not worry about missing England's World Cup quarter-final.

Show organisers are laying on a big screen at Cirencester Park to show the big match against Sweden at 3pm.

Philippa Stagg, the show's PR and marketing manager, said: "As soon as England won the game on Tuesday evening we were inundated with calls to the office and online asking are we going to have a big screen? So we've got a big screen to show the football."

The show, which is taking place over two days this weekend, will feature the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team who will be jumping into the Bathurst Arena on Sunday afternoon.

Widely recognised as the UK's premier military parachute display team, the Falcons, based at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, display at venues all over Britain and Europe and join the show to commemorate the RAF's 100th birthday.

Slightly closer to the ground but still taking to the air on two wheels, the Savage Skills BMX Team are the UK's leading freestyle mountain bike stunt team will be thrilling the crowds with breathtaking performances.

Originally founded as a showcase for countryside pursuits, Show visitors can expect to learn all about traditional rural skills through demonstrations and hands-on experiences.

Have a go at shooting clays, archery and even ferret racing, and watch the experts at work in displays of falconry, saddlery, beekeeping, wood carving and more.

The Show's original ethos "where town meets country" is still adhered to with masses to see and do for the whole family throughout the weekend including tree climbing and bungee trampolines, a traditional Punch and Judy Show, a working dog display, the Dog and Duck Show and the World of Dogs area.

The Food Festival element of the Show continues with the Cookery Theatre featuring chefs from Cotswolds hotels and restaurants alongside the ever-popular Food Hall.
