The Bourne Show Committee’s remit is to put on a great show each year for the local community, something it has done with great success for close to 100 years. The Show itself enables a number of local charities and organisations to raise much needed funds on the day. Additionally, the event and its fabulous evening party, The Big Bourne Bash, produce a surplus each year, enabling the Committee to make donations to local charities, organisations and good causes. This is made possible by a core of unpaid Committee members working tirelessly throughout the year, an army of volunteers, the generosity of sponsors to offset costs and of course our visitors and guests. A huge thanks to everyone who contributes, in whatever form and makes it all possible, helping us to make life just that little bit better for those around us and our community as a whole.
