Our Agriculture Team was delighted to attend the Cheshire Ploughing Match 2026, which took place at Cholmondeley Castle on Wednesday 30th September. This year’s event was particularly special, marking the 100th Cheshire Ploughing Match.
Held annually by the Cheshire Ploughing & Hedge-Cutting Society, the event is a key date in the rural calendar – bringing together farmers, landowners, rural businesses, and professionals from across the county for a day of competitions, demonstrations, and networking.
We once again shared a stand alongside our trusted partners Afford Bond Chartered Accountants and Fazakerley & Sharpe, giving us the perfect opportunity to meet clients and contacts from across the agricultural community together. The day was filled with conversations about everything from farm succession planning and land sales to the practical challenges facing landowners and rural businesses.
Celebrating 100 Cheshire Ploughing Matches
The 100th Cheshire Ploughing Match was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the event’s long history and its continued importance to Cheshire’s farming community.
The showground at Cholmondeley Castle was alive with activity throughout the day, with tractor and horse ploughing classes, hedge-laying and mechanical hedge-cutting competitions, machinery demonstrations and trade stands.
One of the highlights for us was once again seeing the strong turnout of local farmers and rural businesses. Reaching the 100th match was a significant milestone and a reminder of the strength and longevity of Cheshire’s agricultural community.
Why We Take Part
For us, being part of events like the Cheshire Ploughing Match is about more than showing up – it’s about showing our continued commitment to the farming and rural community here in Cheshire.
- For our clients, it’s a chance to catch up face-to-face, away from the office, and talk about the opportunities and challenges that matter most to them.
- For new contacts, it’s an introduction to Myerson and how our dedicated solicitors can support the agricultural sector with everything from property and land law to disputes and succession planning.
- And, importantly, for us, it’s a chance to listen and learn – to understand the issues affecting the industry firsthand.
Looking Ahead
We’d like to thank the Cheshire Ploughing & Hedge-Cutting Society and Cholmondeley Estate for hosting this landmark 100th event.
To everyone who stopped by our stand, it was a pleasure to see you. We were delighted to be part of such an important milestone in the Cheshire Ploughing Match’s history.
Next year’s Cheshire Ploughing Match will take place at Park Place Farm, Oulton, Tarporley, and we’re already looking forward to returning in 2027.
