CRANLEIGH FARM AND FOOD FESTIVAL

Over the years, the show evolved into a celebration of farming, food, and rural life. Although it was cancelled with foot and mouth disease in 1952 and flooding in 1974, then for three years with the Covid pandemic, the Cranleigh Show returned in 2024 under a new name: the Cranleigh Farm and Food Festival.

Alongside the Festival, the Society continues to support British farming through ploughing matches, crop-growing competitions, as well as bursaries for farming and agricultural students. Just as in 1946, the mission remains the same: to keep British farming, food, and countryside life at the heart of our community.
