Welcome to Bakewell Showground in the heart of the Peak District, home of the Bakewell Show!

One of the oldest agricultural shows in the UK with nearly 200 years of history, Bakewell Show has evolved from a purely agricultural display to the diverse event it is today with something for everybody!

The foul British summer cancelled so many events  in 2012 but Bakewell Show lived up to its claim never to cancel and what a great show we had.  Thank you to everybody who helped to make the show a success.  Why not have a look at the gallery to see some great photos of last years show.
