Advertisement Feature Good to go The Bath & West Showground is ready to roll out the red carpet We’re Good to Go! The Bath & West Showground is fully on board with Visit Britain’s campaign and we’re ready when you are. We understand your event is special and different, because we are too. So we offer bespoke packages based on what you need, and because we’re in the heart of the beautiful West Country, we can give you real value for your spend. We don’t pay inner city rates so why should you? Picture yourself and your exhibition in acres of verdant grass and trees, breathing the fresh air, under a cloudless blue sky.* Or inside one of our airy buildings that lend themselves perfectly to a post-COVID sociallydistanced indoor event. The Bath & West Showground is the largest event venue in the south west region. Our flagship hall The Showering Pavilion boasts 2800sqm of exhibition space, with capacity for 5,000 standing and 3,000 seated. We also have a state-of-the- art restaurant facility to accommodate 850 covers over two floors with fully licensed bars and link tunnel to The Showering Pavilion. We think you’ll agree, it’s a perfect complement to the exhibition space with flexibility to be used as two individual self-contained function suites with separate entrances. Just before lockdown, we finished refurbishment of our Lecture Theatre with tiered seating for 120 and Lounge/Classroom area above. We have another five exhibition halls of varying sizes which can be booked independently for smaller events, or linked for something bigger. All together, our buildings and outdoor space make for very flexible and adaptable options, whatever you have in mind. With our first postlockdown events under our belts already, we’re looking forward to our first big trade exhibition – The Dairy Show – on 7th October. The safety of all visitors, exhibitors and staff is our top priority so we’re adhering to all the government guidance around cleaning and social distancing.
