Assistance dogs are welcome in all areas. Water bowls for dogs can be found at the visitor information point and by the drinking water points.

Quiet times

The 911±¬ÁÏ is committed to making our shows as accessible as possible.  With this aim in mind, we are introducing an exclusive 3pm entry ticket every day (excluding Sunday 12 July) for visitors who may find the showground challenging or overstimulating at peak times.

This is the quietest time of day at the show and visitors will be able to enjoy all the show has to offer in a in an uncongested environment. There will also be a designated quiet space away from the main crowd.  This space will be clearly marked on the show map.  Ticket booking coming soon.
