The first Stokesley Show was held in 1859 and succeeding years since then with the exception of the two great wars when Red Cross fund raising smaller events took place. A full list of Presidents can be found on the History Page. This list is a major local history lesson in itself, it gives an insight into some of the leading local citizens of their time.

Following many years of the Society needing to observe a tenancy agreement this has now ceased and has full control of all the land for all time.
This now allows the area to be used outside the month of September for any number of events for which the Society may wish to plan but also gives the opportunity for other people/groups to put forward a proposition to promote an event.
Please E.mail the Secretary of the Society if you wish to take the matter further.
