The Royal Bath & West Show is one of the UK’s largest agricultural shows — and it’s just 15 minutes from Old Oaks.
Held each year at the end of May, it’s a brilliant mix of countryside traditions, food, entertainment and live action — all in one place.
What to expect
This isn’t just a farming show — it’s a full-on experience.

- Main ring entertainment including show jumping and parades
- Food halls packed with local producers and street food
- Machinery old and new — from vintage to cutting-edge farming tech
- Plenty of chances to sample Somerset’s famous cider and cheese
It’s a great mix of relaxed wandering and proper “there’s always something going on”.
