Travelling by car
The Showground is easily accessible by road via the M25, M3, M4 or A3. If you are coming by car you must use either the Stud Gate or Laurel Gate entrances that are on the A308 Hampton Court Road. Please note that traffic is normally very heavy in the surrounding area, so do leave plenty of time for your journey. Once inside the car park, stewards will direct you as close as possible to the show’s Long Water Entrance.
Please display your car park pass (which will be enclosed with your tickets) on your windscreen
If you are disabled, please display your blue/orange badge prominently on the dashboard to aid the parking stewards in directing you to the relevant area of the car park.
