Over 200 things to see and do at this year’s South of England Show
The South of England Show returns from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th June 2025 at the South of England Showground in Ardingly, offering a packed weekend of countryside fun for all ages.
Enjoy livestock competitions, mock auctions, showjumping, scurry driving, the Shetland Pony Grand National, and over 100 equine classes. And don’t miss the countryside classics such as falconry, ferrets, traditional crafts, and a medieval re-enactment village.
There’s local produce to discover in the Food Hall and Village, and Gin Alley and the Grape & Grain Walk offer tastings of regional beverages. Shoppers can also browse the Made in Sussex area for artisan goods.
Families will love the mini ride-on trains, hands-on kids cookery workshops, funfair rides and the Sheep Show. And, on Saturday 7th, the hugely popular children’s character Bluey will be making special appearances at intervals throughout the day.
New for 2025 is a Wildlife & Food Production area where you can explore how farmers balance food production with protecting wildlife and the environment. Plus, there’s a garden design competition, plant stalls, and live bee demos.
