Day 2 Preview

   26 Aug 2024

Manic Monday brings us the magnificent Shires, the grand parade of livestock and more INSANE aerial stunts from the Bolddog Lings freestyle motocross team!

7am Monday and the sun is shining brightly over the Ardenrun Showground. Our competitors are already here, brushing and polishing their horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs so they're ready for their big moment in the show ring. 

The traders are putting the finishing touches to their trade stands, all freshly stocked after a busy day yesterday. Our showground team are busy making sure we're in tip-top condition and ready to welcome you all to our event. The ground is good - it's dry, the car parks are perfect and it's definitely not welly weather!   

Tickets are available on the gate or you can buy here in advance to beat the queues. We recommend arriving early and make sure to follow the directions on our yellow signs when you get near the showground. For blue badge parking we recommend heading for Blue Gate. 

Use postcode RH7 6LL to find us - Junction 6 M25. Tickets are just £24 / £22 (concessions) and £5 for children. It's a great value day that's absolutely jam-packed with entertainment.
