The North Somerset Show is an agricultural show held annually in May at Wraxall, North Somerset, England. It is organised by the North Somerset Agricultural Society. The show takes place at permanent showgrounds in Wraxall. The event normally attracts around 20,000 people.
The society was formed out of the North Somerset Ploughing Society in 1840 by a group of farmers.[1][2] The sole purpose was to promote and showcase agricultural development to both those involved in farming and agriculture as well as to promote an agricultural awareness to the general public. The event used to be held at Ashton Court in Bristol until the society purchased its current 130-acre site, which was previously part of the Tyntesfield Estate, in 2002.[3] Many other events are also held at this site throughout the year such as a Ploughing Match and Craft and Produce Show.[4]
