The Co-operative signs up to sponsor the Royal Show

The Co-operative has signed up to sponsor the Education Trail at this year’s Royal Show.

Around 4,000 school children are expected to make the annual visit to the Show, at Stoneleigh, and will be given the opportunity to explore the work of those living in the countryside, how food is produced and the leisure activities available in the great outdoors.

“The Co-operative is proud to be involved with the Royal Show, as it marries perfectly with our ‘Good with Food’ ethos and our commitment to British food. We hope that our sponsorship of the Education Trail will inspire and inform the younger visitors, and teach them more about food and how it is produced” said Debbie Robinson, Director of Food Retail Marketing, The Co-operative.
