Park & Ride

Due to recent weather conditions, the dedicated Park & Ride service will no longer be operated from off West Ashton Road. Instead, there will be two Park & Ride services from the following locations. For Exhibitors, the Park & Ride service is from Claringdon College, From Road, Trowbridge. For visitors, please use the Park & Ride service from Wiltshire College, College Road (off From Road), Trowbridge.

Both Park & Ride services are courtesy of Chandlers Coach Travel and regular free buses will drop off and pick up from the Tesco car park – just a short walk over the footbridge from the showground.

There will be no visitor parking available near the Showground, so the public are strongly advised to use the park and ride service. This year there will be a parking charge of £1 per car (unlimited parking). The proceeds from this charge will go towards the costs of running the Show. The ride to and from the Show ground is free of charge.

Toilets

There will be temporary toilets located at the park & ride site, and on the main Show ground (see site map for locations). In addition there are also toilets in the Civic Hall and in the permanent toilet block to the north of the site.

Bracelet scheme

Free wrist tags will be made available at the children’s information point and on the park & ride coaches for children to wear. The Show office number will be pre-printed on the tag and a contact number can be written on by the child’s parent/guardian.
