SUMMARY:The Uppingham Fatstock Show
DESCRIPTION:This time-honoured agricultural showcase proudly staged each year by a dedicated committee from the local farming community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the traditions of rural life up close – a true celebration of livestock\, land\, and local pride. \nAfter a lapse of 10 years during the Second World War and rationing the Uppingham Fatstock Show was revived by a committee of local farmers in 1949. The show was held on December 15th when 17 cattle were shown\, 13 pens of sheep and 11 pigs. After that revival the show has been kept alive and prospered due to the efforts of the local community. \nIn 2017 the Committee has revised the native breed cattle class\, making it open to cattle sired by a pure bred bull currently on the Rare Breed Survival List of Native Breeds. This compliments the class in the pig section which has been in force for several years. \nList of Elgible Sires:\nAberdeen Angus\, Ayshire\, Beef Shorthorn\, Belted Galloway\, Britich White\, Devon\, Dexter\, Galloway\, Gloucester\, Guernsey\, Hereford\, Highland\, Irish Moiled\, Jersey\, Lincoln Red\, Longhorn\, Luing\, Northern Dairy Shorthorn\, Red Poll\, Shetland\, Shorthorn\, South Devon\, Sussex\, Welsh Black\, White Park\, Whitebread Shorthorn\, Vaynol. \nList of Eligible Pigs:\nBritish Lop\, Large Black\, Middle White\, Berkshire\, Tamworth\, Welsh\, British Saddleback\, Gloucester Old Spot\, Oxford Sandy & Black\, Large White.

SUMMARY:Murder on the Railway- Halloween: House of Murder
DESCRIPTION:Have you got the super-sleuth skills to find and solve the clues? \nThe detective persona to interrogate the suspects? \nThe judge and jury deliberation to identify the killer? \nThen our Murder Mystery evenings are the perfect way to enjoy an evening with friends\, a ride on the train\, a delightful bottle of wine and a savoury snack basket (snack basket and bottle of wine served per table of 2). The snack baskets are suitable for both gluten-free and vegan diets. \n£120 per table of two \nWhat can you expect from all our Murder Mysteries?\nA fully interactive and immersive evening where you will: \n• Have an opportunity to investigate the murder scene\n• Be given evidence to review and decipher\n• Have the opportunity to interrogate each suspect at your table\n• Enjoy a snack box and bottle of wine (between 2 people)\n• Have a ride behind one of our heritage trains (usually steam\, but not guaranteed)\n• Our on-train bar will be open from 18:00 (located in our Buffet Car) serving a variety of drinks for you to purchase \nThe evening is fully scripted (apart from the improvisation element depending on what questions are asked): nothing is left to chance. Every look\, line\, movement and positioning is precise\, to give the outcome we desire. Our team of writers and actors work tirelessly on their characters\, back story and preparation for questions. In fact\, it takes more time to prepare for that than it does for these fabulous actors to be script down! \nThere can be only one winning team. So it is important to write down as many clues about each suspect and in general that you uncover. The team with the most clues will be victorious. \nItinerary\nCheck in at 5:30pm\nCurtain up at 6:00pm\nTake your seats on the train at 6:45pm\nTrain departure at 7:00pm\nArrive back at Wansford at 8:10pm\nConclusion and evening ends at 8:45pm \nA self-support group of social outcasts meet regularly to try to cope with their Halloween-rooted anxieties. This month’s unconditional positive regard goes right out the window when one of the members gets murdered. The remaining suspects need to prove their innocence to weed out the guilty party. \nOver 18’s only
