The Show Goes On

The Tenbury Country Side Show organisers have confirmed they have no intention of cancelling the show at this stage.

The show is scheduled to run from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday 4th August and will include "The Adrenaline Tour" display team, a Steam Engine tug of war and all the usual countryside features.

A shuttle bus will run from the town centre from 12 noon, but please note that only assistance & participating dogs are allowed on the showground.

If wet weather continues and final decision will be made about the show one week before the event.

Kyre Brook - No Flooding

There was a strong flow on the Kyre Brook tonight after persistent rain all day saw 12mm rain fall in Tenbury.  Heavier rainfall towards Bromyard has caused extensive run-off and the Kyre Brook has been steadily rising all day.  This video was shot at about 9.30pm at the stepping stones.  So far the Environment Agency are not predicting floods in the Tenbury area, but heavy rain fall in parts of Shropshire & Mid Wales may increase river levels in the days to come.
