 West Side Agricultural Show
The annual West Side Agricultural Show and Sports Day is held at Barvas Showground near the crossroads at Barvas Park, Isle of Lewis. The Show dates back to 1921 and was originally open to villages from Borve to Bragar on the west side of the island. Today the Show takes in villages from Shawbost to Port of Ness plus some Open competitions. The Show is now held on the last Friday in July and has a wide range of livestock, agricultural, baking, sports, artistic, piping and dancing competitions plus fun events.
