Newark Show Ground

The County Showground, Winthorpe, Newark, NG24 2NY

Unusual
·4000 attendees
·9 meeting rooms

With 84 acres set inside a secure fence, the Newark Showground offers a perfect venue for all outside events. A further 60 acres are available for parking of traders, exhibitors and public. The Showground is a flat site with 6 acres of buildings, 258 stables, 3 Horse Rings and a further 10 small animal rings. The soil is an free-draining sand over gravel, which is servicable when many other local and regional facilities have long closed. The newest pavilion, the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall was completed in April 2005 in time for the 2005 County Show. It has added a further 3000 sq m of covered exhibition space to the facilities already on offer. Along with this since 2002, two toilet blocks have been completely replaced and two others upgraded. Access can be from the A46, but the ideal approach is from the A17, which allows a longer build of traffic onto the 20 acre South-Eastern runway. The Newark Showground is only 1.5 miles from the A1 and offers many facilities, as can be seen above.
