For five long years, a Knob in Dorset has not been thrown. No Knobs have been painted, or pinned to the Cerne Abbas giant, or the weight of a big Knob guessed. The event, which in 2019 was forced to close, became a victim of its own success as organisers found themselves unable to find a location big enough to host all the avid knobbers who descended each year!

Here at the Cattistock Countryside Show we saw this as a crying shame. To celebrate our 62nd consecutive year running we’ve teamed up with the organisers of the original Dorset Knob Throwing Festival to bring you a summer show worth remembering!

Nestled in Dorset's rolling hills, this is probably the prettiest traditional family country show you could hope for boasting events for horses, dogs, ponies and now Knob throwers!
