Battens Solicitors supports the South West farming community by sponsoring four agricultural shows this summer

Award-winning law firm Battens Solicitors is supporting the local farming community this summer by sponsoring four agricultural shows in Dorset and Somerset.

The Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show (14^th – 15^th August), the Mid Somerset Show in Shepton Mallet (18^th August), the Melplash Show in Bridport (22^nd August) and the Dorset County Show in Dorchester (7^th -8^th Sept) are key events in the region’s farming calendar where the farming community can come together and enjoy a spectacular family day out.

The shows are being sponsored by Battens Solicitors and through the Battens Charitable Trust.

Whilst at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show we have the added bonus of the CLA breakfast which we are delighted to be a joint sponsor of. This allows farmers and landowners a chance to hear vital updates to support themselves over the coming months.

James Owen, Head of Agriculture and Rural Property at Battens Solicitors said.

"Agriculture continually faces many challenges. It is vital that we show our support to the farming community which is the lifeblood of the South West economy. We are delighted to be sponsoring these fantastic events.”
