Getting Here
We Are Excited to See You!
The Showground, New Park, Brockenhurst, Hampshire SO42 7QH
We try to ensure that getting to The Show is as easy as possible, whether you arrive by car, public transport, on foot or by bike.
We encourage visitors to travel by modes other than the car to improve your Show experience and manage the travel impact of the Show on the local community.
Car
If you are driving to the Show, there is a car park adjacent to the Showground which is open from 6.30 am. Parking is free of charge for all and plentiful, but we do encourage people to carshare where possible. Please be aware roads into the area can get busy on Show days so you are advised to arrive early. For the quickest route, we would advise you to use your navigation device or map and then follow the directions of the AA signs once you encounter these. We encourage all those arriving by car to NOT use the A337 from Cadnam to Lyndhurst if possible as that can become very congested.

Walking & Cycling
Cycling to the Show… we are pleased to offer safe and secure cycle parking for those coming to the Show on their bikes. Our bike rack is located close to the public entrance. Your bike helmets and equipment can be securely stored at the ‘Shop and Drop’ located just inside the gate at the main public entrance and please remember to bring your bike lock cable.
The New Forest has an amazing network of local cycle routes and while cycling on local roads is an option we’d strongly advise you to make use of the network of off-road paths. The closest off-road cycle path is number 257. Downloads this free map from the New Forest National Park Authority.
Walking to the Show…We are an approximate 30–45-minute walk from the centre of Brockenhurst. We strongly advise you to choose routes away from the main roads of the Forest as there isn’t a pedestrian path on the road to the Show. Further information on local walking routes in the New Forest is available here.
