Cheshire Show
Encyclopedia
The Cheshire Show is a big county agricultural show currently held on 2 days in June each year on land west of Flittogate Lane in the Tabley
area in Cheshire, England.
Because it attracts a huge amount of traffic, traffic coming to it from the Manchester direction along the A556 road
cannot make a right turn in but has to go on past the showground and make a U-turn at the roundabout at the east end of the Northwich bypass and come back to the showground and make a left turn in.
Traffic arrangements in 2011 (21–22 June 2011) were different: incoming traffic, and passing northeastwards traffic along the A556, was diverted at the roundabout near Lostock Gralam
through Lostock Gralam, Higher Wincham, Pickmere
, and to the north end of Flittogate Lane. A hard standing for motorcycles was provided. Outgoing traffic was diverted northwards and ended up at or near High Legh
on the A50 road
between Warrington
and Knutsford
.
