The 166th North Somerset Agricultural Show is set to delight families this Bank Holiday Monday at Wraxall, near Bristol. This longstanding event celebrates the best of the region’s livestock, arts and crafts, local food and drink, and a variety of rural activities, all complemented by live music entertainment.
Highlighting the day’s excitement, stuntman Paul Hannam will perform thrilling displays in the main ring. For the first time ever, an adventure zone operated by the Mendip Activity Centre will offer hands-on experiences such as axe throwing, bushcraft, and a climbing tower—guaranteed to captivate children and adults alike.
“The heart of the show is the livestock and horse competitions,” organizers shared. “We’re thrilled to welcome many new competitors from the local area and beyond this year.”
