The Royal Bath & West Show returns on 1–3 June 2023, and visitors of all ages can look forward to some exciting new attractions alongside old favourites.

Older children are bound to be thrilled by the tree-cutting skills of the Dorset Axemen, returning for another year; and wowed by the performances of the Main Ring attraction, the Imps Motorcycle Display Team.

You won't want to miss the enhanced Sports Village, which, with support from Bath Rugby Foundation and Shepton Mallet Football Club, is bound to bring out the competitive spirit in everyone.

The Main Ring will also be the place for animal-lovers, featuring daily displays from Pawsability Dog Agility and the Pony Club Games finals. The Heavy Horses will also make a welcome return, if you prefer animals with four hooves and a mane. Senior members of the family (or car enthusiasts of any age) will love the spectacular vintage vehicle parade, another Main Ring attraction. After the thrills of the Imps Motorcycle Display Team this will be motoring at a more leisurely pace!

Food and drink are always at the heart of the Show, and after its successful 2022 debut the Great British Kitchen returns, with another exciting line up of chefs providing free-to-attend live cooking demonstrations.

The three days will be hosted by Lisa Cadd, the 'Fuss-Free Foodie', who will be joined by Cocktail mixer Andy Clarke. The Royal Bath & West Show is delighted to welcome Matt Tebbutt of Saturday Kitchen Live and Food Unwrapped fame to the kitchen on 1st June, and he will be followed by 'This Morning's Phil Vickery on 2nd June. On the final day of the show The Great British Kitchen will have a Caribbean feel with Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE, 'The Black Farmer'. As if this wasn't enough for foodies, the organisers are excited to introduce a brand-new Cheese Marquee as well as the Regional Food & Drink Marquee.

For young visitors, Lakeside Farm and its interactive exhibits are a must, and don't forget to visit Tractor Ted! You may also be lucky enough to see Bubble Inc or the Jelly Roll Jazz Band as you walk around, or whilst you take a ride on the ever-popular Bath & West train – the best way to see the Showground, whatever your age! The hugely popular Pilton Tent and Woodland & Countryside Arena will also be a part of your unforgettable family day out.

Jess Chiplen, Head of Shows, says "We are delighted to be welcoming visitors back to the Royal Bath & West Show for 2023. We've used visitor feedback to enhance existing areas that we all know and love, as well as introducing some exciting new elements for the whole family to enjoy."

Each Advance Saver ticket also allows FREE admission for two children, making theRoyal Bath & West Show a great value day out for all the family.
