HOUSEBUILDER Cala Homes (East) has been named as a key sponsor of the West Fife Show for a seventh consecutive year.
The agricultural event returns in June, with organisers expecting thousands to attend. The show is now in its 257th year and remains one of Scotland’s longest-running rural events.
Cala said it recognises the value of grassroots initiatives that bring communities together and honour local heritage.
Derek Lawson, strategic land director with Cala Homes (East), said, “Events like the West Fife Show are vital in celebrating the vibrancy of rural Scotland, and we’re proud to continue our longstanding support. This show brings together everything that’s special about country life – from livestock to local crafts, food to family fun – and it offers a great day out for all ages while promoting pride in the local community.”
Visitors can watch livestock competitions featuring cattle, sheep, goats and horses. Meanwhile, farming enthusiasts can enjoy up-close access to tractors and machinery thanks to support from regional dealerships and vintage exhibitors.
The entertainment programme features everything from sheep shearing and milking demonstrations to a children’s tractor zone and baby animal tent. The Dog Show also returns, while a craft marquee will spotlight local makers and producers.
A spokesperson for the West Fife Show added, “The show has evolved across generations, but at its heart it remains a celebration of our agricultural roots. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer or a family on a summer day out, there’s something here for everyone. Events like ours thrive thanks to dedicated volunteers and supportive partners, so having Cala Homes (East) on board once again makes a real difference to what we can offer.”
Cala’s backing of the West Fife Show complements its growing presence in the region, with recent investment and development in nearby Aberdour through the Inchcolm Green project.
The housebuilder is currently delivering 21 affordable homes in partnership with Fife Council at the former Inchcolm Green site, following the completion of 63 private homes and a wider community investment package totalling over £6 million.
As part of its Community Pledge initiative, Cala contributed more than £12,000 to local causes in Aberdour alone, including funding for youth sports facilities, primary school upgrades, and environmental volunteering efforts such as beach cleans and biodiversity projects.
Derek Lawson added, “We don’t just build homes – we’re committed to helping communities thrive. From affordable housing provision to educational partnerships and event sponsorships, we aim to leave a lasting positive impact in the areas we develop.”
