4: The Gooseberry Show
Since 1800 the first week in August has been set aside for the Egton Bridge Gooseberry Show, the culmination of a whole year of devotion to the planting, pampering, and protection of the big berry. The selection and the weighing-in of each gooseberry is the subject of this week's big day.
