Harlow Town use to have a Harlow Town Show, many, many years back. Recently, as a part of their new developments within Harlow, they’ve been hosting more events. We’ve seen the Christmas Market, the Graffiti Festival, Lions on the Loose, and now the Harlow Town Show. This event specifically was meant for only people who live in Harlow (they had this whole ticket verification processes and everything), as it was put on for the people of Harlow.

Harlow Town Show Ticket Situation

The event had different stands and shows on each day, for three days. We went on the Sunday, going to both the daytime show and the night show. (Friday and Saturday also had a night show.

Amelia had two of her friends along, one of which who isn’t photographed – we all had a fantastic time.

In England, there are these sort of pop-up sculpture trails, where a charity will pick a specific animal and create loads of statues that appear all around an area. Previously, Dann and I checked out the Penguins by the seaside! This time, however, Lions on the Loose have come to our town as they are placed around Harlow, Essex and Loughton. There are over 64 lions to find, all of which have been adopted by local schools, businesses, and charities and then decorated. In our town centre alone, there are tons of them!
