About Us
The Hadleigh Show is one of the oldest agricultural shows in the country. It is located in beautiful parkland on the outskirts of the historic town of Hadleigh, near Ipswich. Taking place on the 3rd Saturday in May each year, the Show attracts around 14,000 visitors. The majority of these visitors are local and attend the show year after year.
The Hadleigh Show is a fabulous showcase for Suffolk agriculture, the countryside and rural life in general. It’s a great opportunity for related companies to promote themselves to a wide, and largely local, audience. The continued success of the Show is only possible with the support of our volunteers and sponsors.
