Shepton Flea Market: If you love the hunt for something new, unusual, gold or shiny, then look no further, dealers, traders and collector's offering a wide variety of items to suit all tastes and budgets, don't take my word for it, come and have a look for yourself, see ya on the hunt.

Classic showground that needs investment to create a 21st century experience. Good parking and reasonable indoor exhibition space. Madly complex ticketing and testing. The event fell short of expectations tbh

Great value for money. Stalls had everything you would want and the entertainment was top notch.

Lots of parking, including Disabled. Hundreds of stalls. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars was not enough eating places and definitely not enough places to sit whilst eating. Otherwise, a good place to visit.

We visited the country festival today and as a family of 5 with teens we had a great day. it was well organised, parking was easy. it was easy to find and priced well. we particularly appreciated the free kids tickets as we could then spend more at the show itself. we'll be back next year

The Bath & West festival was absolutely fantastic. Plenty to see and do including excellent motorcycle and quad bike stunt shows, a fairground, many horse shows, farm animals, plenty of food and cider stalls. The showground itself is also very impressive with several outdoor arenas, many indoor spaces and an excellent miniature railway.
