Kington Show

A showcase of the best in agriculture

What's on 2025

BOLDDOG FMX MOTORBIKE TEAM

As the UK’s number one motorcycle display team, the Bolddog FMX team base their show around the world’s largest and most sophisticated mobile landing system.

The show features the UK’s top ranked freestyle motocross riders, incorporating the latest heart stopping tricks as usually only seen on TV. The team set the standard 15 years ago and now continues to push the boundaries of FMX and lead the way for all motorcycle display teams.

The team also provides an informative onboard commentary by the riders even talking to the crowd while performing a trick flying 35ft in the air.

Between displays the public are invited to the interactive stand where they can get a closer look at the bikes and meet the riders. A complete package to give value both on and off the machines.

 

THE PARACHUTE DISPLAY TEAM

🚁🪂 Look who will be dropping into the Main Ring this year! 🚁🪂
Get ready to look up - The Parachute Display Team will be taking to the skies and making a dramatic entrance into the Main Ring!
From 4,000 feet up, they’ll leap from a helicopter, trailing smoke, waving flags, and gliding in under colourful canopies. Watch as they paint the sky with smoke as they appear to dance through the clouds with mid-air acrobatics!
Each jump is a tribute to their passion for skydiving and support for The Royal British Legion.
You don't want to miss this! 🚁🪂

 

WYE VALLEY AXEMEN

The Wye Valley Axemen have members from Rhayader, Llanidloes and Newtown areas, with their ages varying from sixteen to sixty. There will be on-going displays throughout the day demonstrating speed and skill against each other with a lively commentary. They will also be racing against the shearers - so look out for some real competition.

PARKOUR ACTION

Parkour/Freerunning is all about getting from A to B in the fastest way possible demonstrating strength, precision and co-ordination as they flip and leap across any obstacles in their path.

The new portable display rig has been designed to ensure the shows are exciting and jaw dropping. The rig is 10m x 12m and is 4m high – really allowing the athletes to express themselves showing the finesse and power of the Parkour/Freerunning athletes. Expect to see some of the latest tricks – normally only seen on TV and the internet.
