The Grand Parade takes place within the prestigious Grand Ring, situated within the heart of the showground, taking place between 15:25 and 16:05 on the Thursday afternoon.
The Grand Parade gives exhibitors the chance to showcase their final livestock, offering over 258 championship classes for Cattle, Sheep, Pigs and Goats. The parade also acts as a salute to the farmers, exhibitors and their animals in Norfolk, as the award winning champion livestock and heavy horses are showcased.

There are some exciting new additions in Light Horses, Heavy Horses, Private Driving and Showjumping. In addition, the new ‘Beltex Class’ will be introduced to the livestock category this year, to reflect the growing popularity of the Beltex Breed in East Anglia.
Leathes Prior will be not only be sponsoring the event but also proudly presenting the prizes in the Grand Ring, to the winners of each class on the day.
