Romsey Show

Saturday 11 September 2027
Broadlands Park, Romsey, Hampshire(SO51 9ZD)

Romsey Show is a Hampshire tradition whose society dates from 1842 and which first came to Broadlands Park in 1881. Each September upwards of 15,000 visitors fill the parkland for a traditional country show. The livestock lines hold cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys alongside rabbits, guinea pigs and Angora goats, with a mobile petting farm too. Over in the Countryside Area there is falconry, gun dog work and terrier racing, with the Family Dog Show later on, and the Grand Parade has been part of the day since the late 1930s. Young cooks can have a go in the Kids Kitchen, and there is floral art and a honey tent to browse. Parking in the grass car park is free, and picnics are welcome.
