The Official Dorset County Show Magazine 2025

Date:

The countdown is on – the Dorset County Show returns on 6th & 7th September, and we’re delighted to bring you the official pre-show magazine, created in partnership with the Show team.

This year’s issue is full of stories, previews and insider tips to help you get the most out of your visit. From big-ring thrills to the quieter corners of the showground, it’s a celebration of everything that makes the Dorset County Show such a favourite in the rural calendar.

Here’s just a taste of what you’ll find inside:

  • Ben Atkinson’s Liberty Horses – back by popular demand after last year’s runaway success.
  • Paul Hannam’s ATV Stunt Show – Britain’s quad daredevil brings jaw-dropping jumps and the UK’s only multicar rollover quad.
  • 59 free things to do – proof that some of the best parts of the Show won’t cost you a penny.
  • The Sheep Show – music, laughter and education from one of the UK’s most-loved arena acts.
  • C&O Tractors’ Matthew Holland – 47 years in the business, loyalty, tractors, and why the Show is a fixed date in his calendar.
  • Plus the map (screenshot it for the day), timetables (DITTO!), food & drink highlights, the Fun Dog Show, and much more.

Whether you’re here for the animals, the machinery, the food or just the atmosphere, the magazine is your guide to making the most of the weekend.

📖 Read the magazine above – free and easy on any device, just make it full screen and flip the pages.

🎟️ Don’t forget to book your tickets in advance – discounted prices end Friday 5th September. Get tickets here.
