The Hadleigh Show 2026

This year’s main attraction is the return of the Kangaroo Kid, appearing at the Hadleigh Show for the first time in twenty years. Now led by the son of the original Kangaroo Kid this performance carries a special sense of history and continuity.

The last time the original Kangaroo Kid performed at Hadleigh was during the show year overseen by the father of our current Show Director Will Pratt. A wonderful full circle moment and a highlight not to be missed.
