PA systems
As returning visitors will be aware, the showgrounds are a hive of activity throughout the event and there can be a variety of loud sounds. In particular, the cattle rings, sheep rings, shearing pavilion and equine arenas will have PA systems in use during the various competitions. In addition, our shopping halls and indoor marquees can become noisy at peak times.
Quiet Area
If you require a quiet space to take some time out from the hustle and bustle, we have a dedicated relaxation and regulation sensory dome located in the Healthy Horticulture Area of the showgrounds for those aged 16 and over.
Provided by Diverse Minds Events, this area is free to use for all adult visitors and staff, and serves as an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation amidst the activities of the Show. The tranquil space will offer a range of holistic wellness activities and amenities, including mindfulness techniques, relaxing seating options and a cosy darkened space with warm lighting. Visitors to the hub will be given a pack upon entry featuring items and literature which they may use to best suit their needs and requirements during their visit to the hub. These will then be returned upon exit.
Within our Children's Area, visitors can also find a family relaxation and regulation sensory marquee from Diverse Minds Events for children beside the Kidz Farm.
A member of Diverse Minds Events Team will be at both locations throughout the Show opening times should anyone need support.
