Longer opening hours for Gillingham and Shaftsbury Show
On 14 August, the show will be open in the evening for music and drinks with a licensed bar and pop-up street food vendors.
The Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show, which takes place on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 August, has announced that it has extended its opening hours until 10.30pm on the first day.
After the main show closes at 6pm, visitors on a day ticket can now stay into the evening to enjoy live music from local bands. The line-up includes Fair Play offering a medley of funk, soul, pop and disco. If the ‘heavy monster sound’ is more your thing, there is Big Brass Ska whose stage show includes songs made famous by Bad Manners, Madness and The Specials. There will also be the lively Mustang Sally to keep the party atmosphere going.
While you dance under the stars, you can grab some great food and drink with a fully licensed bar and pop-up street food.
If you can’t get to the show all day, there’s a special entrance rate on the Wednesday from 3pm with adult tickets £10 and family tickets £24.
Show organiser Cat Harris said: “There’s always a feel that visitors want to stay longer to relax in the great setting of our Showground after their busy day enjoying all the wonderful rural attractions. Our extended hours on the Wednesday will allow them to do this and get even more for their money with the bonus of free evening entertainment.
“We’ve also listened to feedback from people who can’t make the whole day due to work or other commitments so giving afternoon access to the Showground at a reduced price seems the perfect scenario.”
