HEAVY downpours have failed to dampen spirits of visitors and exhibitors to the Nantwich and South Cheshire Show this morning (Wednesday).

As the gates opened on the 112th event, people poured through armed with their umbrellas determined to not let the weather spoil the day.

There is hope the weather will brighten up later but visitors are not taking any chances in their wellies.
