About 5,000 people attended the 2019 Epping Town Show. The Epping Town Show will go ahead on Sunday, July 4, the town council has agreed. The council has also voted to have the funfair as well as arena events and other entertainment - such as the Punch and Judy show and donkeys - as usual. Town Mayor Grahame Scruton told Thursday s council meeting: Because at this time (July 4) it s after the [Covid-19] restrictions have ended then I think we should go ahead. There s a lot of associations that have a stall and they have not publicised themselves for a year-and-a-half. It would good to have them back to promote themselves.
