Moreton Show
The north Cotswolds' agricultural show, on a Saturday in early September on the Batsford Estate near Moreton-in-Marsh, with livestock, horses and free entry for children; next on Saturday 4 September 2027.
Moreton Show is a one-day agricultural show on the Batsford Estate near Moreton-in-Marsh, held on a Saturday in early September. The next show is on Saturday 4 September 2027, with the gates open from 8.30am to 5.30pm. The show has run since 1949, and the organisers billed 2026 as its 77th year.
What happens at Moreton Show
The Grand Arena has the Shetland Pony Grand National, hound parades, show jumping, heavy horses and the livestock grand parade. Around the showground there are more than 30 Horse of the Year Show qualifying classes, shearing competitions, sheepdog demonstrations, falconry, farriers at work, vintage tractors, rural crafts, a food and drink theatre, trade stands and the traditional competitions for flowers, baking and photography.
For children there are ride-on tractors, the Attwell Farm Park mini farm and circus skills, and a family area with a baby changing and feeding tent.
Tickets and prices
Tickets cost less the earlier they are bought. For 2026 adults paid from £25 for the earliest tickets to £36.50 on show day, and young people aged 13 to 17 from £12.50 to £18.25. Children 12 and under go free, but each needs a ticket, bought with an adult's, and must come with an adult. A carer goes free with a visitor who buys a full-rate ticket, on showing documents such as a PIP or Carer's Allowance letter, a Blue Badge number or an Access Card. Tickets are also sold at shops in the area, including Henrys of Moreton.
Getting there and parking
Parking on the showground is free, with a Blue Badge area on a first-come basis that the organisers say can be full by mid-morning; ring the show office, 01608 651908, at least a week ahead with any concerns. The organisers ask drivers to head for GL56 9AJ from the south or GL56 9NT from the north and then follow the show signs rather than satnav. There are accessible toilets, including a Mobiloo changing places unit with a hoist, a viewing area beside the main arena and a stewarded quiet room for neurodivergent visitors and their families.
Can I bring my dog to Moreton Show?
Yes, on a fixed lead. Dogs must not be left in cars and are kept out of several covered areas; there are water points, and a companion dog show and terrier racing to enter on the day.
