The Public Car Parks are clearly sign posted from the roads approaching the showfield and you will be shown how to get to them by the stewards on the day.
Disabled Parking
Disabled car parks will be clearly signposted on the day of the show. There is NO disabled parking on the actual showfield, all disabled parking is within the member's car park and access is via a tarmac road.
We provide disabled toilets on the actual field, all toilet facilities are 'Portaloo's'. The disabled toilets are marked on this map. If you are experiencing difficulty with these toilets please contact the Secretaries portacabin on the showfield, as there is one disabled toilet in the member's area, but access would need to be arranged with a member of the committee. There are no hoists nor disabled changing facilities.
At present, there is no designated disabled viewing area, although there is a ramp into the Grandstand where the viewing is great, but again this is limited to approx 3 wheelchairs. For walking disabled the rough terrain can become slippy and uneven, the showfield is very spread out and a lot of walking is required. The show does not have any 'mobility' scooter facilities, if you do bring your own please note that the showfield does get very congested at times.
