Herts County Show Showcase for Hertfordshire finest; farming, food, entertainment

For 2018 we have new food, new drink, new music, a new big top circus, a new Village Green, new entertainment, new craftsmen and new heavy horses, new equine classes, new sheep classes and new cattle classes, as well as a few old favourites, back by popular demand!

Our new food courts - Eat and Drink Hertfordshire, Street Food at the Circus and The Oak Tree Eatery - will be exclusively featuring local food vendors, selling everything from Peking duck to South African Street Food to vegan Indian to sweet and savoury crepes. Local brewers, Farr Brew and McMullen’s, will be selling from their pop up pubs, tipi bars and horse boxes across the Showground. Or bring your own picnic!

The Village Green has been completely regenerated for 2018. This year we have Happy’s Big Top, where the Classical Choir will be performing a Greatest Showman/Moulin Rouge medley, before Happy’s team take over with their jugglers, acrobats, magic and so much more. Make sure to stick around for a workshop where you can test your own circus skills! Or just grab a straw bale and listen to The Classical Choir and Rock Choir while enjoying a drink from a local brewery, or a glass of Pimms from the Pimms Teapot.

Old favourites such as The Hertfordshire Farmers Display will be back in the Jubilee Arena, this year looking at 100 years of farming, before their famous hay bale race. Speak to the stars of the show in The Hertfordshire Farmyard, which will be bigger than ever before, including more machinery, old and new, farmyard animals, pig racing and talks by Rothamsted Research.

New in the Queen’s Jubilee Arena, new acts will include The Stampede Stunt Co, a horse stunt act featuring genuine Cossack trick riders. We will also have N&J heavy horses performing a heavy horse display to music and the Imps motorcycle team will be performing their adrenaline fuelled stunts. Old favourites the Dinky Derby and the Hurry Scurry will be returning, and remember – the louder you cheer the faster they go!

The ever popular ‘Made’ In Hertfordshire Marquees will be returning with more artisan producers of food and drink, local craftsman and talented artists, than ever before. Or visit one of the hundreds of new traders in the food hall and across the Showground.
