THE Three Counties Show regularly attracts visitors from all around the UK, but this year, interest has been coming from a lot further afield - and it's being put down to the power of the web.

Three Counties Agricultural Society revealed that staff working at the box office recently took a booking all the way from Ulaanbaatar City, in Mongolia.

Sharon Gilbert, press officer for the society, said: "Internet ticket sales show substantial increases each year, and our website receives around one million hits annually from all over the world.

"It's good to know people thousands of miles away are reading all about us, but I don't think we've ever had a visitor from this far away before."

The show takes place from June 15-17 and discounted tickets are available up to June 7 by calling 01684 584924 or visiting www.threecounties.co.uk
