A variety of food and craft stalls will be set up at the show and there will be a number of exhibitions from local organisations and charities.

Dogs will be allowed into the showground, providing they are well behaved and kept on a short lead at all times.

A wide range of food and drink is available, with traders offering choices from burgers, hot dogs, toasted sandwiches and bacon rolls, to crepes, donuts and farmhouse ice creams.

There will also be a bar serving alcohol.

However, visitors are allowed to bring their own food and have a picnic if they wish.

The show will be based at Mill Farm in Machen and will be clearly signposted.

The nearest postcode to the farm is CF83 8SW.

There will be free car parking available.

Caerphilly Observer will be one of the sponsors of the event once again.

Tickets can be bought at the gate on the day and cost £6 for adults, £4 for children aged under 14 and pensioners.

Family tickets for two adults and two children cost £16.
