The aim of this page is to allow our visitors to see how the Show is progressing throughout the year.
The New Forest and Hampshire County Show is a three day agricultural Show held normally during the last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in July; this year the dates are 26th 27th and 28th July. On average the event attracts 90,000 people over the three days.
The Show is split into sections ranging from Sheep to Flowers and Cattle to Antiques. Each one of these sections brings a different dimension to the Show and allows our visitors the chance to experience a diverse range of attractions throughout their time on the showground. Every section is run by a chairman, a vice chairman and a committee of dedicated volunteers who give up their free time to make sure that your visit is packed with excitement.
To complete your day out we have over 600 tradestands which sell everything from clothes to garden furniture and horse equipment to cars. These tradestands offer great offers to the public and helps to create the most diverse shopping centre in the county.
The centre piece of the Show is the main ring, here we offer a variety of attractions for our visitors, from international show jumping, to the heavy horse musical drive and from fly fishing demonstrations to in 2011 Jamie Squibb and his amazing motorbike display.
Throughout the year we are aiming to post regular reports on how we are getting on with the organisation and build up of the Show and also try to give readers an idea of the amount of work which goes into creating and event of our size. We will be regularly uploading a selection of photos to give you an idea of where we are and what each section has been up to.
The New Forest and Hampshire County Show is a public event and we are always grateful to receive any comments or thoughts on how we could improve our flagship event, therefore should you be able to offer any ideas on this then please do not hesitate to contact the office on 01590 622400 or by emailing us at

Look forward to seeing you again soon!
