THE highly anticipated Romsey Show returns on Saturday, September 14, at Broadlands Estate and this year's event promises to be even bigger and better than last year's.

On offer this year will be a blend of family entertainment, local traditions and exciting new attractions, building on the 2023 edition's roaring success.

The show has long been a cherished annual tradition, bringing together residents and visitors from across the region. Whether you are an agricultural enthusiast, food lover, or simply looking for a fun day out, there’s something for everyone.

This year's events include a "coaching class" from the coachmen seen in the Netflix TV series Bridgerton, a circus skills workshop, a "mud kitchen" and live music.
