Set in the heart of Norfolk’s picturesque countryside, just a few miles west of the vibrant city of Norwich, Norfolk Showground offers visitors a gateway to a region steeped in natural beauty, history, and cultural charm. 

Norfolk Showground is renowned as one of the region’s leading venues, hosting an exciting array of fairs, exhibitions, and events throughout the year, including our very own Celebration of Antiques. Its spacious grounds and excellent facilities make it a hub for creativity, commerce, and community gatherings.

Beyond the showground, the surrounding area is brimming with attractions. Norwich, just a short drive away, is a city that seamlessly blends ancient and modern. With its stunning Norman castle, two majestic cathedrals, and a labyrinth of medieval streets, the city is a delight for history enthusiasts.
