The New Forest and Hampshire County Show has returned with crowds of visitors over the spectacular three-day event at New Park, Brockenhurst.
Shows in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the Covid pandemic and this year’s show promised popular equestrian events, livestock competitions, family entertainment, and local food and produce, as well as new shows and activities.
The event is supported by 500 volunteers and over 90,000 visitors were expected over the three days.
“I should like to thank everyone who has been involved in creating and putting on this year’s Show, particularly the army of 500 volunteers, without whom none of this would be possible.”

Fortunately for visitors, temperatures had lowered since the record-breaking heatwave a week prior to the show.
