A celebration of countryside life is returning for another year of fun, with 70 free attractions included with every ticket.
The New Forest and Hampshire County Show will take place from July 28 to July 30 at New Park in Brockenhurst, promising a packed programme of rural tradition and modern entertainment for all ages.
Now in its 98th year, the event is bigger and better than ever, blending nearly a century of heritage with fresh attractions and interactive experiences.
Dennis Dooley, chief executive of the New Forest Agricultural Show Society, said: "The Show has always been a family-friendly affair, welcoming thousands of visitors of all ages for a fantastic, fun-filled three days every year.

"Our aim this year is to offer something for the whole family, whether people are excited to get hands on with workshops and education, enjoy live entertainment and demonstrations, or just generally have a good time, there is something to keep everyone entertained in 2026."
Visitors will have access to 70 free activities and attractions with every ticket, including new features such as a Hobby Horse Ring, an expanded Farming Experience, and Horsepower Fury stunt performances.
Traditional highlights remain at the heart of the event, including the Grand Parade, livestock judging, equine competitions, and the Heavy Horse Musical Drive.
Families can explore the Old Time Farming Area to learn about historical agricultural equipment and techniques or head to the Countryside Area for ferret racing, falconry displays, and gun dog demonstrations.
Children can get involved in hands-on workshops in the Farming Experience zone, themed 'What British Farmers Grow – From Soil to Supper.'
