Important travel information ahead of this weekend's 192nd Rutland County Show, taking place Sunday 31 May 🔽

More info about parking and show traffic on the Rutland Showground website, including a free shuttlebus timetable on Show Day: www.rutlandshowground.com/parking-and-traffic-routes

Organisers work incredibly hard every year to put on a fantastic show. Enjoy the day if you're heading along! 🐴🚜🐮☀️

☀️ The Rutland Show is NEXT WEEKEND… and the forecast is looking fantastic! 🎉🌤️

With sunshine currently forecast for show week, we’re expecting a brilliant turnout for the 192nd Rutland County Show — and we need your help to keep everything running smoothly. 🙌

🚗 If you’re driving, please plan ahead:
✅ ALL public visitors must enter via GATE 1
✅ A one-way traffic system and road closure will be in place on show day
✅ Please follow the signage and steward directions
✅ Allow a little extra travel time, especially during peak arrival periods

Even better… if you can, walk, cycle (safe cycle parking available 🚲), or use our FREE shuttle buses from Oakham & Uppingham 🚌 to help reduce congestion.

A little planning from everyone makes a huge difference and helps get you through the gates and into the fun faster! 🎡🐑🎶🐴

Thank you in advance for helping us make this another fantastic Rutland Show day 💚
