A traditional show for everyone – that was the 2012 Liskeard Show, a triumph after early postponement. The event last Saturday was such a success that many regulars mused it would do better moved permanently as an end-of-season fixture, with strong turn-outs of sheep and cattle and figures only slightly down because of the date change to six weeks later than scheduled.
