South Downs Show

Set among the beechwoods of Queen Elizabeth Country Park on the South Downs, this two-day show mixes dog shows and gundog scurries with arena entertainment, live music and food stalls — proper countryside-show territory rather than a theme park.

Good for dog owners especially: there's a full programme of dog classes alongside the main show ring, and the park itself is dog-friendly all year if you fancy the walking trails afterwards too.
