PACE will have a stand at Tendring Show 12 July 2025 where we will have displays about PACE Projects, a Nature Museum, and live moths and other local insects. Last year we won the Cup for the Best Charity Stand in Show. In the morning on 12 July, HM Lord Lieutenant of Essex will be at the PACE stand to present PACE with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service – great recognition for our volunteers’ work.

 

We need help with the stand throughout the day, and also with our Sustainable Travel Initiative.There are over 20,000 visitors to Tendring Show each year at the Showground in Lawford near Manningtree, and most visitors come by car. PACE is working with the Show to try to reduce emissions and reduce road congestion.

 

We will be running a PRIZE DRAW with Free Entry for all those who come to the Show on Foot, by Bike, by Bus, by Train or who share lifts with family and friends, so they come with a Full Car. PACE volunteers will be giving out the PRIZE DRAW Tickets. We are also running a Bus Shuttle throughout the day for the first time this year, from Manningtree Station to Lawford School near the Show. First Bus will leave the Station at 8.30am, then runs throughout the day, and Last Bus returns from the School Car Park at 5pm for the Station. PACE volunteers will welcome rail visitors and give each a PRIZE DRAW Ticket.

 

There are 8 cash prizes from the Draw - First Prize is £200 - and each prize winner also gets a Bee Hotel so they can do a bit for nature too.Thanks for support from Tendring Show, Essex & Suffolk Community Rail Partnership, Lawford Parish Council, Manningtree Community Bus and Harwich Connexions Bus.If you are coming to the Show on 12 July, please think about how you will travel.All the better if you can come and help us on 12 July. Most shifts are about 2.5 hours – each volunteer will get a Complimentary Ticket for Tendring Show so you will have plenty of time to have a good look round and enjoy the Show which is open 8am to 5pm.
