Bakewell Show has kicked off its two days of fun and hopes to attract record crowds despite the credit crunch.
Show bosses have pegged prices to help families afford to go along and it is also hoped that with more people spending their holidays in the UK this year, locals and tourists will pay a visit.
Joint show director Brian Bakel said: "We know everyone is having a hard time, but for farmers this comes on top of falling prices at the farm gate and more and more legislation from Brussels. It's making it increasingly difficult to earn a living.
"So we have pegged our prices and are doing as much as we can to make sure people can have a really good value day out.
"It's a good cost-effective day out for all the family and we work hard to ensure there is something for everyone to enjoy," added Mr Bakel.
Our website will be updated over the two days with more pictures and reports from this year's show.
