Northumberland County Show is delighted to announce 2026’s Main Arena Attraction, The Kangaroo Kid!….as well as the return of The Sheep Show and lots more for all the family!
Organiser Kerry Robson explains, “The Show fundamentally is a traditional agricultural event, and the heart of what we do. Our aim is to enable everyone to learn about, and celebrate, the excellent farming practices and livestock husbandry in our county and bring the rural and urban communities together. We want everyone to have the best possible experience of the Show, and to encourage new visitors, we also offer a wide range of attractions, displays and entertainment throughout the day so the whole family have fun.”
The Main Arena Act for 2026 has just been confirmed as The Kangaroo Kid – Matt Coulter, the Kangaroo Kid, is a world class stuntman from Brisbane, Australia.
