It is with deep regret that The Orsett Show has to confirm the passing of last year’s Show President, Robert Folkard.

Rob was a stalwart of the Show for many years and he will be sadly missed. Rob was born in East Tilbury Village and began working on the Osborne Farm in the 1950s.

Since the 1950s Rob has been heavily involved in the Orsett Show, initially focussing on the agriculture side and then as Ground Controller, a role which entailed many hours ordering fencing, marquees and getting the site ready for Show Day. In recent years Rob handed over the mantle to his son Clive but both Rob and his wife Cynthia remained great advocates for the Show and we were very proud to be able to recognise this support and dedication when they agreed to be Presidents of the 2023 Orsett Show.

Rob will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with Cynthia, Clive and their family at this very difficult time.

We’re proud to receive the following kind words from Paul Dale, Asset and Site Director of The Port of Tilbury said: “What a great day it was at the Orsett show on Saturday. Our team were at the showground with our stand and had a brilliant time meeting everyone. As a major employer in Thurrock, we were honoured to be the main sponsor of this fantastic community event. Well done once again to all the organisers and we look forward to 2024.”

Georgina Clark, Show Secretary said “we hope everyone who attended the 115th Orsett Show on Saturday had an enjoyable time. A big thank you to our Headline Sponsor  Port of Tilbury  and to each and everyone of our Sponsors for their continued support of the Show. The Show would not happen without our great team of volunteers who work tirelessly in the months leading up to the Show and on Show day itself and we thank each and everyone of them. Next year’s Show will be on the 7th September 2024.”
