Still time to register for Rotherham Show

CRAFTY types and proud growers wanting to star in the Rotherham Show are being urged to register their entry now.

The horticultural show and its accompanying crafts competition will be back as one of the events at the annual end-of-summer spectacular on Saturday and Sunday.

And organisers at Rotherham Borough Council are reminding people to get in touch on 01709 822453 if they want to display arts, crafts, flowers or fruit and veg.

To complement the horticultural show, the popular Vintage Vehicle Rally will be once again wowing the crows with generations of automotive excellence on the Sunday.

With a range of four and two wheeled automotive dreams on show, everything from a 1926 Austin Mayfair to a 1990 Pontiac Firebird and a classic 1938 Excelsior Warrior, will be there.

The route this year starts from Effingham Street, heading to the St. Anne’s Roundabout and onto Centenary Way.

From there it will head towards Kimberworth, along Rockingham Road and eventually onto Town Lane.

It will then travel onto Upper Wortley Road, then along Droppingwell Lane, Farm View Road, Church Street, Kimberworth Road and then over Coronation Bridge.

After that, it will travel back down Centenary Way, then onto Fitzwilliam Road, Herringthorpe Valley Road, Wickersley Road, then onto Clifton Lane and into Clifton Park.

Free parking will be available on Herringthorpe Playing Fields with a bus shuttle service running every ten minutes priced at £1 from 9.30am.
