No, all days are valid for either day, but only one day of the Show.
A timetable of events taking place at the Show will be available in early April.
You are welcome to bring a picnic to eat after browsing the Show. Turnpike Showground is large enough to find a spot away from the main Show area to enjoy your picnic. Please do take all rubbish home with you or use the onsite bins provided.
We ask if you bring a dog that they are kept on a short lead, and kept under control and away from all Food stands. They will also not be permitted inside some marquees such as Poultry and the Cookery Theatre nor in the FarmYard Area of the Show.
There will be lots of hot food options to enjoy at the Show or alternatively to enjoy at home. We even have some music for you to enjoy while eating the delicious foods you find!
Yes, you can ride your bike to the Showground and lock it to fencing onsite. Just follow the signs for Car Parking.
The majority of Traders will accept card. However, we advise you bring plenty of cash just in case.
Due to the Showground being a field we cannot always guarantee perfect mobile signals for the card machines to work.
There is a cash point located beside the Office. However, there is a charge.
The Spring Countryside Show takes place mostly outside with a number of internal marquees. The Demonstrations Marquee and Cookery Theatre is mostly viewing outside. We do have a number of covered picnic areas in case of wet weather.
The Car Park entrance is located along the B3081.
Car Parking is free of charge with a Show Ticket.
You can hire a Mobility Scooter from Wheels For Freedom on 01202 670450.
We advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
