The Show is a traditional one day Agricultural and Horse Show and the leading agricultural event in the County.
The site is old permanent pasture in a parkland setting. There are no permanent show buildings which means the Show is built up in the traditional way with marquees and hurdle pens giving a true country show atmosphere.
Competitions are held for horses, ponies, cattle [including the National Show of Poll Hereford cattle], sheep [including the National Show of Cotswold Sheep], goats, poultry, dogs, homecrafts, flowers, vegetables and even scarecrows.
Around 250 tradestands provide everything from a tractor to a toy and a wide selection of food and drink – both to eat at once and to take home.
