General Show Information

​

Poor mobile signal 
The show is in a country park in an area with very no mobile phone signal due to the surrounding hills. If you are meeting with friends, it's best to agree a time and place beforehand. 

​

Cash is king
The show is in a field - to avoid disappointment please bring cash rather than relying on card payments to our traders. There is *very* limited wifi provided by the estate, which may not work all the time.

​

Help needed!
The show is not for profit, brought to you by a very small but dedicated group of volunteers working hard to bring you the show you know and love - but we need your help to achieve this! If you'd like to help with organising the show or judging a class on the day please email show@abvwc.com
 

Accessibility
The show is in a field on a hill. We have plenty of visitors who use scooters, but if you use a wheelchair we would advise bringing a friend to help push. There is parking for blue badge holders by the show car entrance.
