Welcome To The Showman's Show 2007
Welcome 2007

The Showman's Show will, once again, be welcoming visitors and exhibitors from all corners of the globe.  The friendship flags, supplied by Harrison External Display Systems, which featured for the first time in 2006, will take pride of place, alongside the exhibitor country flags, for a second time flying either side of the entrance walkway to the Show. 

This year the countries represented include:  USA, Canada, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Ghana, Estonia, Spain, Mexico, Cyprus, New Zealand, Germany, Latvia, The Netherlands, Denmark, France, Nigeria, Sweden, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, UAE, India, Israel, South Africa, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Zimbabwe, Portugal and Switzerland.

Visitors to the Show this year can, as always, look forward to a fresh and exciting event that includes over 80 new exhibitors from every area of the outdoor event world, including some exciting innovations and new technologies.

The Showman's Show Auction proved as popular as ever, with both sellers and buyers, in 2006 when many pieces of show equipment came under the hammer.  The auction will be running for a fifth consecutive year and will include show and exhibition equipment, vehicles, accommodation units, tents and marquees, mobile bathroom facilities, catering and hospitality equipment plus much more.  There may be one or two surprises, so a visit to the auction will be well worth it.

As always fingers are crossed for good weather but if you are planning to visit The Showman's Show bring a pair of boots and an umbrella just in case.  The organisers of The Showman's Show look forward to welcoming you to Newbury Showground on 17th and 18th October and hope all their visitors and exhibitors have a rewarding Show.
