New Forest and Hampshire County Show returns after Covid break

An agricultural show in the New Forest has opened after a two year break because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The New Forest and Hampshire County Show is being held at New Park near Brockenhurst for three days from 26 July.

Established in 1920, the show is said to be Hampshire’s largest event with up to 95,000 visitors expected.

The show is run by 500 volunteers and features horses, cattle, floral displays, bees, and trade displays.

A festival of food will showcase local and national produce from cheese to sausages and pies to gin.
