Organisers promise something for everyone and one of the high octane highlights of the main ring will be the Bolddog Lings Freestyle Team, who are certain to amaze the crowds with their gravity defying freestyle motocross show.

The nationally acclaimed team have the largest, most hi-tech landing ramp in the world, which has been ridden by the world's best freestyle professionals, including world number one Nate Adams and world record holder Robbie Madison, the current day Evel Knievel.

The Norfolk Show will host record numbers of Horse of the Year Show qualifiers and livestock entries.

There will be 27 Horse of the Year Show qualifiers, including three in the Ridden Purebred Arabs.

There will be a record-breaking number of livestock entries, including 870 cattle, 796 sheep, 80 pigs and 190 goats. The show is also hosting the British Simmental Cattle National Show.

One of the Queen's horses, Barbers Shop, will also be taking part.

The 11-year-old gelding, which was the last horse to be bred by the Queen Mother, was formerly trained by Nicky Henderson and won £143,000 during his racing career, with a total of eight successes. He raced for the final time at the Cheltenham Festival in 2012, and has since been very successfully introduced to the show ring, resulting in him being crowned champion at last year's final of the Tattersalls and Retraining of Racehorses Thoroughbred Show Horse Championship at Hickstead.

Barbers Shop is ridden by Katie Jerram and will compete in Class 129: The Tattersalls, Retraining of Racehorses Thoroughbred Show Series, which is to be held on the Thursday of the show in the Waveney Light Horse ring.

Jerram, based at Great Dunmow in Essex, has seven of the Queen's horses in her care at her yard, and said: 'I'm delighted to be attending this year's Royal Norfolk Show with some of the top show horses in the country.'
