South of England Show
The South of England Show is a staple in the agricultural and equestrian calendar. Bringing together the very best of agriculture, equestrian sport and rural life, this three-day show offers family-friendly entertainment, equine showing and showjumping classes, traditional livestock competitions, country pursuits and artisan crafts - making it a true celebration of the countryside for all ages and a unique opportunity to meet, learn from and support local farmers, producers and rural businesses.
Headlining the 2026 show is the Squibb Freestyle Stunt Team, delivering high-octane motocross displays packed with choreographed airborne stunts and adrenaline-fuelled excitement.
The ever-popular livestock section returns with more than 300 competitive classes featuring cattle, sheep, pigs and goats. Meanwhile, equestrian highlights include top level showjumping across all three days, the inter-hunt relay, scurry driving and qualifying classes for the London International Horse Show.
Family favourites include the interactive activity trail, children’s cookery workshops, the Sheep Show starring Nobby the Norfolk Horn, giant tortoises and even a bug hotel competition.
For food lovers, the Food Hall and Village will showcase independent producers, vineyards, microbreweries and local gin distillers, alongside street food and homemade treats. Shoppers can also discover countryside clothing, artisan gifts and unique handmade products.
