Here at Lester Lowe Ltd we like to payback into our community, whether it's sponsoring local sports teams, or raising money to support local good causes and emergency services.
The annual sheep dog trials, staged at Blore near Ashbourne in August each year, appeal to all who are interested not only in dog trialling but also those who enjoy the magnificent scenery, coupled with local heritage and traditional skills. It is a local event that attracts dog handlers from across the UK, and also Europe and farther afield on occasions. It also draws a great deal of support from tourists visiting the area. There are a number of families who make Dovedale Sheep Dog Trials an annual pilgrimage and organise their summer holidays to coincide with the trials.

Ashbourne Show:
In 1881, four gentlemen founded a Society, with the aim of improving the standard of Shire Horses in the Ashbourne area. Originally known as the Ashbourne Cart Horse Society, later that year, they held their first a Show on the Paddock, at Ashbourne.
In 1888, the title Ashbourne Shire Horse Society was adopted and Royal Patronage was granted in 1899 by King Edward 7th, who was President in 1901.
The aim and ambition is to produce a Show for the encouragement of excellence in agriculture and animal husbandry and for the information education and entertainment of the local community and the visitors to the area each August.
