“A great day out in the summer”
Next Show – Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th July 2025
Saturday 11.30 – 5.30 & Sunday 10.00 – 5.00
We have lined up some fantastic family friendly entertainment for our 2025 Show – The Quack Pack – runner ducks herded by sheepdogs, Gamegoer Gun Dogs and Ferrets, Kevin’s community circus, Ben Long Falconry, Johnny G Puppet and Magic Show, The Rock Choir, The McLennan School of Irish Dance, Clevedon Gymnastic Display, Punch and Judy and lots more…..
The Show which is a combination of a country fair and a traditional flower and produce show is a real community event, having first been held in 1863! It is an opportunity for the Portishead community to get together to enjoy arena attractions, showcase local talent and to enjoy some retail therapy and scrummy refreshments. Our refreshment team aim to support the British farming community and local company’s with baked goods and ham from local butchers – Butchers Block, bread from Herberts in Bristol and home baked cakes from WI ladies.
The Society would like to thank the following companies for their support and sponsorship of arena events : LIFE:Aligned Chiropractic, Coffi Lab Portishead and The Hawthorns
Tickets for the Show are now available with a 20% discount, Adult single day £8.00 (£10), Adult weekend £12.00 (£15) accompanied Children under 17 free – see Tickets to purchase.
The Show is run by a dedicated team of volunteers with no paid staff and we can only run the Show with the assistance of volunteers from the local community so if you want to help and can spare a couple of hours please get in touch.
With over 300 competition classes to enter, there really is a class for all ages from pre-school to senior citizens. The Competition Class schedule is now available to purchase from Carey’s on the High Street, Ebb and Flow, Heaven on the Hill, Elements on the Marina, Brackenwood Garden Centre and Hensons Hobbies – who will be judging our new Warhammer competition. Alternatively you can find one at the bottom of our Competition Class page.
Some of the feedback from the public, traders and entertainers for the 2024 Show :
“We had a wonderful afternoon on Saturday. The quality of the entries in the different sections were amazing! My husband particularly loved the fruit ‘pictures’ by the children. I think it was a tangerine octopus that took his fancy. I loved the pineapple dinosaur – it was great. We met lots of lovely people some we knew and some we do now. My favourite event of the year. Well done.
”A brilliant community event, providing entertainment, competitions and demonstrations for all age groups”
“It was brilliant as usual – thank you very much”
“A very impressive mix of attractions: reflection of the hard work by the organisers and volunteers. Well done to all involved”
and one from 2023
“Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work that goes on in the background to make this Show happen. It is always the highlight of the 1st week of the summer holidays, a chilled week with the craft box out for my daughter to use her imagination and to get creative. The excitement of the morning to go into the Show tent to see how she has got on it is almost like her face at Christmas. Winning a rosette and some money is always a memory my daughter will cherish….’
