Bridgend County Show

The Bridgend Country Show returns on 11–12 July 2026, promising a vibrant weekend that celebrates the very best of rural life in South Wales. Held at Merthyr Mawr on the edge of Bridgend, the event blends long-standing agricultural tradition with modern family entertainment, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages.

Across the showground, livestock competitions and equestrian classes sit alongside craft stalls, artisan food producers and local trade stands. Demonstrations in the main ring, vintage machinery displays and countryside skills exhibitions highlight the area’s rich farming heritage, while live music and performances add to the festive feel throughout the weekend.

Families can enjoy children’s activities, animal encounters and a host of interactive attractions designed to give a hands-on taste of country life. Whether you’re there for the competition, the shopping, or simply to soak up the community spirit, the Bridgend Country Show remains one of the summer’s standout events in the Welsh agricultural calendar.
