This year we have combined the Learning Zone and Activity Zones from the 2024 show to bring you the New Activity Zone.

We have greatly expanded our activity zone attractions to ensure that there is something that will interest, excite and entertain you, whatever your age. The New Activity Zone at the Swallowfield Show is a must visit for all the family.

Circus Skills Workshop

The extremely popular Larger Than Life are returning to the show this year with their large and colourful circus mat where you can try your hand at juggling, unicycling, hand held stilt walking, diablos, hula hoops, hoi and plate spinning! You will be under the expert tuition of seasoned performers John Caudrey and Jason Perry who can also show you how it is done! Suitable for all ages and abilities you are free to drop in as many times as you like to improve your skills.

Yateley Morris Men

The Yateley Morris Men are no strangers to dancing at the our show as we welcome them back to demonstrate to us once again what is truly an old and very genuine English Tradition!

Afterwards they will be available to answer any question you might have on this quaint English pass-time.

Saint Sled Dogs

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome back the Saint Sled Dogs Rescue team.  A popular attraction to see rescued Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes all of whom offer a very warm welcome.

The Lions Train Rides

“NOT MANY FUNDRAISING CLUBS OWN A TRAIN!

Ours is powered by a converted ride-on lawnmower, dressed up to look like an engine. It draws 4 brightly coloured carriages, each holding 4 adults, or more children if tightly packed!

The train has outings throughout the spring and summer, at various venues. It not only raises funds for our charitable trust and gives children lots of fun, but it also attracts an adult audience, and gives our members a chance to be engine drivers, at last!”

Traylens FunFair

All the fun of the faire – This year Swallowfield Show is delighted to be welcoming Traylens Funfair to the show, they will be proving a wide range of rides, with something for everyone in the family. Lots of choice and fun however adventurous or calm and cautious as you want to try. Whether you are young or old, adventurous or simply want to enjoy something less thrilling there will be lots to choose from.

And of course then there is the Village Green, Food stalls, Trade stalls and other interesting things to see and do.
