Thousands of visitors are set to attend the New Forest and Hampshire County Show next week after a three-year break due to the Covid pandemic.
The event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 and organisers, exhibitors, sponsors, competitors, volunteers, and attendees, are “thrilled” to bring the show back.
New Forest Business News was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the showground setting up and confirm it looks to be a spectacular event as always.
Chairman of the show, Martin Stewart, said: “We are thrilled to be able to bring back this vital community event.”
“Our number one objective has been to get the Show ‘back on the road’.”
New attractions for 2022 include the Heavy Horse Village, Farming Experience Zone, local breweries, community area, New Park Little Ranger taster sessions, and a new tea room overlooking West Ring, Esme Tea Rooms.
Stewart said: “Thank you for supporting the Show, you are playing a massive part in the return journey.”
