The Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show is an annual event that celebrates the very best of British agriculture, rural life, and the countryside. This show has something for everyone and this year offers two full days of entertainment for visitors of all ages. From livestock judging to falconry displays, there’s always something exciting to see and do at this fantastic event.
Local businesses are the backbone of the Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show, and visitors can enjoy a range of food and drink options from street food to local producers. The food and drink area is surrounded by picnic tipis, the craft & countryside area, and the large Wessex Shopping Pavilion. The show brings together the best of Dorset and showcases the rich history and heritage of the countryside, from the new Steam Section and Heavy Horse Village to educating visitors on how food gets from farm to plate.
Last year, the Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show welcomed over 30,000 visitors through its gates, and this year, with its new two-day format, promises to be even better. As a show with agriculture at its heart, it continues to strive to showcase the very best of rural life from the modern world right back to where it all began. Visitors can learn about farming practices, rural crafts, and the latest in agricultural technology.
The BV magazine is proud to create the official show magazine for the Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show. Our team works hard to produce a high-quality publication that highlights the best of the show and provides visitors with a comprehensive guide to the day’s events, as well as an inside look behind the scenes. The show is an important event in the Dorset, Wiltshire, and Somerset calendar, and we’re excited to be a part of it.
