    I used to love going to the North Somerset show and the Bath and West, but haven't been in years.
    There is the Wiltshire Game and Country Fair next weekend though which I will hopefully be going to:

    I enjoy them, they are fab :) I used to get in for free when I put in a couple of rabbits in the rabbit show when a lot younger :)

  • This year I went to the Surrey County Show with family and weall really enjoyed the day although it was a bit expensive. Everyone liked seeing the farm animals and the dog shows and the food and produce stalls were an attraction too. Last year I went to Egham show which I preferred as it is smaller.

    I love them. We generally try to get to the South of England show, and the Heathfield show, which I love because of all the animals. And I'm a sucker for the food marquees - all those tasty looking sauce and chutneys, even though I've got a cupboard full of home-made ones. Rarely return home empty handed.

    Last year my company had a stand at the Emley Show and needed volunteers (basically to show people around the turbos, hehe), so I went to a show for the first time. It was fab, I saw things that I thought were only true in Wallace & Gromit movies (biggest cucumber prize, anyone?) :D

    I plan to go again this year :)

    Me and the family spent 3 days at the Royal Welsh this year, and still didn't see it all!
    They had built a new food hall which I only went in briefly and didn't go into the Glamorgan hall and see all the craft stalls at all... I need more time!
    We really enjoy it:j
