Another Great Show

It was another great Royal Cornwall Show with the sun shining for most of the weekend and our vehicles both on display and working at the Wadebridge Showground.
Burcombe Mercedes, Isuzu and Volvos were all on show on their respective stands while the sweeper was there at the end of each day working to get the site looking clean for next day visitors.

With thousands of visitors and so much to see among the livestock, stalls and displays, Burcombe are delighted to once again be involved with Cornwall’s biggest yearly event.

  

Royal Cornwall Show this weekend

The Royal Cornwall Show starts today and runs until Saturday. If you’re heading down, see if you can spot our four Burcombe lorries on display around the showground.

We’ve recently got ourselves on Twitter and Instagram, so give us a follow – BurcombeHaulage – and we’ll have plenty of pictures from the Show tomorrow!
