Largest Single Breed Horse Show in the UK and Europe

The World Clydesdale Show 2022 is promising record numbers of Clydesdale horses taking part when it is hosted at P and J Live, Aberdeen from October 20-23.

This promises to be a fabulous show of 313 Clydesdales and will have spectators coming from all over the world to see the breed perform in its home country. The total of 671 class entries should make it the largest single horse breed show in the UK and Europe in 2022.

The show has been arranged by a team of volunteers and with the support of a number of organisations is producing a four-day long spectacle in the Aberdeen.

Among them is EventScotland, part of VisitScotland’s events directorate whose support of the World Clydesdale Show 2022 enabled the team of volunteers to access television advertising as part of a marketing programme, which has already led to a significant increase in spectators and followers signed up for the show.

“By advertising the World Clydesdale Show on television we are raising the interest and profile not only of the show but of this amazing breed of horse," said Ailsa Clark, chief executive of the World Clydesdale Show 2022.

"As an owner and breeder of Clydesdale horses I have been overwhelmed by the support that we have received from EventScotland in the promotion of our show. We have reached audiences that we hadn’t imagined possible.”

Paul Bush, VisitScotland's director of events, added: “We are delighted to be supporting the World Clydesdale Show through our national events programme as part of an exciting portfolio of sporting and cultural events taking place across the country this year.”

As part of the lure for international visitors, there will also be a range of tours to breeders' studs right across the country.
