The Suffolk Show was staged at different venues round the County but in 1960 moved to its permanent site in Ipswich where it still is today. The Showground covers 100 hectares in total - 40 hectares of which is exhibition area.  If you would like to find out more about the history of the Suffolk Show, copies of our 175th Anniversary book "Suffolk - The Fine Farming County" can be purchased by calling 01473 707110.

The Suffolk Agricultural Association celebrated its 175th Anniversary in 2006 and a film, recorded over four years between 2003 and 2006, is now available to celebrate this anniversary. It illustrates the wide range of activities and events to see and enjoy at the Show. For further details contact Haylock Media Services, Barking Road, Needham Market, Ipswich IP6 8HG.
