New location chosen for event in Dorchester

  • 2026-11-05
The organisers of an annual event in Dorchester have confirmed that it will be changing locations from next year.

The Dorset County Show is one of the highlights of the year for the region. Its base for over 25 years has been Cokers Frome, which is on the edge of Dorchester. This is all set to change in 2027 though, as the event will relocate to Pigeon House Farm. This is also in Dorchester and not too far from the previous location, so upheaval should be kept to a minimum.

Those who put the event together each year have stated that visitors will be able to get to the new spot very easily. Car parking access will stay the same and there are only a handful of fields separating it from Cokers Frome.

One of the features commonly found at agricultural shows is advertising Banners for local businesses. Dorchester has banner printing outlets that make this possible.

The main reason for the relocating of the Dorset County Show is the need for greater space. Pigeon House Farm offers that, which provides the potential for growth.

There has already been considerable expansion, with attendance numbers on the rise. The show now attracts roughly 60,000 to Dorchester every year.

The dates for the 2027 Dorset County Show will be 4 and 5 September and it promises to be the biggest yet.
