About Us
The Burford Agricultural Society, founded in 1858, has been a cornerstone of our community, dedicated to celebrating agriculture and fostering a strong sense of community spirit. With a rich history spanning over 160 years, we have remained steadfast in our mission to promote agricultural education, preserve our rural heritage, and support local farmers and producers.
Our vision is to create a vibrant and thriving community where the values of agriculture, tradition, and togetherness are celebrated and upheld. Throughout the year, we host a diverse array of events, including the renowned Burford Fair, various competitions, and educational workshops. These events provide a platform for showcasing local talents, produce, and livestock, fostering a deeper appreciation for the agricultural roots that define our community.
Beyond our events, the Burford Agricultural Society is deeply committed to community involvement. Our fairgrounds serve as a hub for local activities, offering facility rentals for gatherings, meetings, and celebrations. We believe in the power of community and strive to create opportunities for people to come together, learn, and grow. Our volunteer opportunities further strengthen community bonds, inviting individuals to contribute to our shared mission and vision.
At the Burford Agricultural Society & Fairgrounds, we take pride in our heritage and look forward to a future where agriculture and community continue to flourish. Join us in celebrating the spirit of agriculture and the enduring sense of community that defines Burford. Together, we can build a brighter, more connected future for all.
