Oswestry Show – 1st August 2026 | Discover What’s On

For well over a century, Oswestry Showground has stood as a proud symbol of agricultural heritage and community celebration. Our flagship event, the Oswestry Show, first held in 1862 and now in its 139th year, draws over 15,000 visitors annually. Our Show brings over 180 volunteers who prepare/set-up and close down the show, they carry out their assigned tasks to help the Show run smoothly. Most of the volunteers are long standing volunteers, who in some cases, have been on the organising Committee for many decades. The Show would not exist without these people as they commit hundreds of hours every year to the staging of the Show and maintaining the Showground. Set for Saturday 1st August 2026, it remains one of the UK’s leading one-day agricultural shows – a lively gathering of farmers, families, and local exhibitors showcasing the very best of rural life.

But the showground is more than just the home of the Oswestry Show. Throughout the year, our spacious and versatile grounds host a wide variety of public and private events – from vintage rallies and country fairs to antique markets and seasonal festivals. Whether it’s livestock or live music, tractors or trade stands, Oswestry Showground brings people together.
