It was inaugurated by the eccentric local landowner Joseph Pocklington in 1792,[144] and after a lapse of more than two centuries was revived in 2013.[145] Its organisers describe it as "A weekend of mayhem and madness afloat, with the chance to climb aboard in a variety of races on Derwentwater".[3] The Keswick Agricultural Show, founded in 1860, has traditionally been held on August Bank Holiday Monday at the western edge of the town on the Crossing Fields section of the open land known as the Howrahs.[n 6] The show features both commercial and charity stands, and attracts large numbers of competitors, exhibitors and spectators.[140] From 2014 the venue has changed to Pump Field, a few hundred yards further from the town centre towards Braithwaite.[147]
