Tips & Advice
- Book online ahead of your visit, because popular arrival slots are already filling up and booking guarantees entry on your chosen show day.
- Wear suitable footwear for the walk from your car, because all parking at the Showground, including the Blue Badge spaces, is on grass.
- Arrive in the morning if you want to park near the entrance, since spaces at the front of the car park go first come, first served.
- Bring some cash as well as your card, since signal on the Showground can be patchy and there is no cashpoint on site.
- Dress for all weather, because the show covers outdoor stalls and an outdoor marquee as well as the Main Show Building and the Christmas Barns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my arrival slot limit how long I can stay?
No. Arrival slots only keep traffic, car parks and entrances moving. Every visitor can stay until the show closes, and you get a hand stamp if you want to leave and come back that day.
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs on leads are welcome in the outdoor shopping areas but not in the Main Show Building or the Christmas Barns. Guide dogs are welcome everywhere. Please use the dog litter bins around the Showground.
What is there to eat and drink?
You'll find festive food and drink stands to sip, sample and shop, plus on-site catering with hot food and drinks. The Christmas Cafe serves drinks and cakes, there is undercover seating, and you can picnic in any public area of the Showground.
Do stallholders take cards?
Most exhibitors have card machines, but bring some cash too because signal on the Showground can be patchy. There is no cashpoint on site. The nearest is about a two-minute drive away at the Sainsbury's roundabout.
Can I bring a buggy or pram?
Buggies and prams are allowed in all outdoor areas but not in the Main Hall. A free buggy park is at the entrance to the Main Show Building.
