Hurst Show & Country Fayre
26th & 27th June
We are very excited to be back to celebrate the wonderful things about Hurst, and this year will be using the amazing spaces we have in the village to bring you a fun and exciting show, with many of the usual star attractions making an appearance.
Show Programme
Programmes with essential event info and maps will be available for purchase for £2 at Martineau Green and near the village halls.
Martineau Green is the place to find our Events Arena, Treasure Hunt, Dog Show, Hobby Horse Jumps and much more.
Head to the Food Court in the grounds of the village hall to visit our great BBQ and Bar. You'll also find the Tea and Coffee Tent, and get some Strawberries and Cream.
The village hall grounds are also hosting the Music Tent - see the schedule for details.
A section of School Road will be closed to traffic for the duration of the Show. This area is home to the Classic Vehicle Show and stalls.
Venture into the School Field to see what Just Around the Corner (JAC) have for you. Visit the Craft Stalls, Small Animal Area, and try some Pottery Painting.
At the top of the hill you'll find the Community Orchard packed with fun activities, including archery, skittles and our coconut shy!
At the church is our bookstall, and messy activities for younger ones. On Saturday the Hurst Bowling Club welcome you to drop-in and have a go.
Entrance to the show is free, so donations towards our local good causes including Alexander Devine Children's Hospice and many Hurst groups would be very much appreciated. These can be made via our Just Giving page or to the donation boxes over the weekend.
You've got to be in it to win it! Roll up and buy your raffle tickets today!
Around the Village
The popular Garden Gate Arts Trail will once again be taking place over the weekend.
Toilets
Toilets are available in all main areas of the Show.
Safety and Security
The committee reserves the right to refuse admission and to ask people to leave the show ground.
We have a team of first aiders on site. If you require medical attention please visit the event control tent, outside the village hall, or ask anyone in a CREW pink t-shirt for help.
Any lost or found children will be escorted to the event control tent, outside the village hall, and will be looked after by the committee. We will put a call out over the PA system to find parents.
To keep everyone safe as they move around the village, please note that there will be the following road access changes over the weekend (from 7am on Sat 26th June to 8am on Mon 28th June) - please see the map for more details.
- Closure of School Road (access to residents permitted) and a northbound one-way system on Church Hill (from Davis Street junction to Orchard Road junction).
- Access along Church Hill is advised for show parking and access to The Castle Inn and Hurst Bowls club. There will be no southbound access along Church Hill (from the Orchard Road junction).
- A northbound diversion route will continue along Lodge Road to Whistley Green and Broadwater Lane.
- The southbound diversion will go along Orchard Road and Sawpit Road on to Lodge Road.
The Show committee have planned with Wokingham Borough Council to operate within the current levels of social distancing. Our Covid-19 policy can be found on our website.
Just a polite reminder to adhere to Covid guidelines whilst at the show; to retain social distancing, please wear masks when entering indoors, use hand sanitiser available around the site and if you don't feel well please go home immediately.
The event started as a one day gymkhana in 1979, mainly to fundraise for St Nicholas Primary School. See more history of the show.
