Membership
MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Become a Member of the New Forest Agricultural Show Society
Purchasing Membership is so much more than acquiring tickets to the Show. It is in fact Membership of a Charity (No 100425). Our Charitable aims and objectives are to support agriculture, forestry, equestrianism and horticulture. One way in which we carry this out is to stage the New Forest and Hampshire County Show each year to demonstrate the best of these.
Member’s fees are used to support all the Charity’s activities, not just the Show. The tickets for the Show are one benefit of being a Member of the Charity. The following provides more information:
