    Very enjoyable day, wonderful weather to complement the amount of things you can do here. There are lots of food and drink stalls and different things to see. Tickets aren’t that expensive and there are 4 parking areas you can park at. I will definitely go again!

    Visited for A dogs day out event, it was brilliantly managed and set out. The grounds were very well looked after and we had a great time

    The Bristol Classic Bike Show is a regular visit for us. The entrance fee is high at £15 and if the weather is cold, the venue isn't a refuge, you need warm clothing. The up side is that there are plenty of nice bikes to see supplied by local clubs. You can also pick up odds and ends for your project or just fettling.

    Here we go great place for a motorcycle jumble and to look at classic bikes . You can pick holes with alsorts venue's this place hasn't changed in 40 year's or so there are tons of improvements needed. But a auto jumble it was perfect

    I went to the baby and toddler event recently, and it's the first time I've been on this site in many many years. Loads of parking, all seemed wheelchair friendly around the whole event and there were toilets available. Feels a bit like you're walking around a posh cattle shed as they put carpets down all around but it still has a very Industrial/ agricultural outhouse feel. One gripe is that they stuck the burger van in a door way to the side of the building so the whole place absolutely stank of cooking meat and grease, there was no getting away from it all round (just what expecting mothers want)! Other than that, a nice hour out of the house.

    Bath & West Show ground puts on various events & l visited it with friends for the arts & crafts show. Not a large show held on 2 floors in one of the pavilions but very interesting & worth while going to. It brings together in one place a whole range of craft suppliers to allow you to look, try and buy craft items. This may spark your interest in trying other crafts or obtaining items which you may not otherwise thought about.

    The Confor Woodland Show was a great event. Lots of stalls with forestry equipment and woodland tools, both manual and mechanical. Lovely food and drinks with a varied choice too. Very reasonable prices made for a really good day out 😊

    Road closures & dreadful signage made this a dreadful place to access. Food prices are scandalous, £12 for some dried up fish, a few chips and pease. Both areas need addressing by the venue people. I won't return in a rush if I can avoid it. The show itself was fine.

  • 5/5 katrina hall (. 7 months ago on Google
    Have been here a few times for truckfest! It's very well kept grounds, plenty of toilets all accessible dotted round throughout, the land is large and well maintained, shady spots to take cover in the hot summer heat or rainy weather and easy to locate. 90% of the grounds are grass but there are gravel and concrete areas so most wheels and feet will cope with the terrain well also the parking area is large with blue badge holders securing a space close to the entry point. Lovely stream with shady trees, old railway and conkers season dependent.

    It was a lovely crisp start to the day for the Antiques Fair.We bought tickets online, so it was a nice quick entry at 9.00, otherwise its a bit of a pain. There were plenty of stalls inside and out, but maybe not as many as previously, quite a few spaces. Met some nice people but did find that many of the traders had hiked up their prices. The worst thing was the car park terrible state with potholes everywhere . Otherwise, not a bad few hours out

    I visited during Autofest UK. The grounds are fairly basic and that's ok but the reason I marked it down was due to how poorly kept the gravel roads are. I entered via the side gate as instructed by the event organisers and it's just not a good look when you're hosting a car show to have huge pot holes.

    Excellent event, to be honest one day wasn't enough for the Bath and West show. Increased free water refill stations great addition

  • 5/5 almeida4eva 10 months ago on Google
    We attended the Royal Bath and West Show. So much to see and do…. And eat! Lots for the children to learn and participate in. It was a very hot day but there were re-filla le water stations and lots of refreshments available to purchase

    Antique fair 2023: I highly recommend it. Very interesting and enjoyable event. Wear comfy shoes, though, as there are miles of sheds and outdoor stalls to peruse. We will return for the next one.

    A huge Showground with toilets and shower blocks. A very civilised place to stay for Glastonbury festival and the shuttle bus service is great.

  • 5/5 Stephen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had great day out at the Bath and West Country Show. Easy to get in to, easy to park and well marshalled. Loads of entertainment with old style funfair, steam engines, classic vehicles, horses and hounds, dogs, country pursuits, food and drink stalls. Even though it was scaled back this year it was worth visiting and I will be visiting again
