Please also speak to our friendly Visitor Information staff and Stewards at the show for any further help and advice.


Use of personal mobility vehicles

Visitors are welcome to bring their own mobility scooters but should be mindful of uneven surfaces in Depot Mayfield e.g. small dents/drains so scooters shouldn't be driven at speed.
