Don't forget to mark a date in your diary for a hugely popular country show.
This year’s Blackwater Country Show, in Chigborough Road, Heybridge, will be taking place on Sunday, June 21.
Throughout the day there will be entertainment and displays in the main ring, plus plenty of quality gifts, homeware, food and produce stalls to browse in the marquees.
In the field sports area, you can have a go at clay shooting and archery or just relax and watch the Newfoundland Dog Rescue, canoes and models boats on the lake.
Petrol heads can explore the showground to find the vintage tractors, classic cars, children’s activities and many trade stalls.
Dogs are welcome and there is a fun dog show and dog agility to enter on the day.
