Royal Isle Of Wight County Show Set To Return With Two Day Event

The Royal Isle of Wight County Show is back for 2022 and for the first time since 2009, will be held over two days to include additional performances and exhibition spaces.

The event, now in its 121st year, will be held over the weekend of 25 and 26 June and will have a royal theme, to tie in with the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations that are happening nationally throughout June.

Headlining the Show will be The Queen’s Colour Squadron — the RAF’s dedicated ceremonial unit responsible for representing the RAF at state and national ceremonial occasions, as well as providing guards of honour for the Royal Family and heads of state.

The Squadron currently holds a world record for completing nearly three million foot and rifle drill movements in less than 24 hours.

Graham Biss, chairman of the show, said:

“We’re going big this year! We were so disappointed to have had to cancel 2020 and 2021 County Shows, so what better comeback than doubling up?

"We’re holding the show over two days instead of the usual one, adding an extra car park and increasing the space so we can invite more traders and visitors to join us and experience an even bigger slice of country life.”

Traders can get an early bird discount for pitches booked by March 31, and spaces can be reserved by contacting [email protected].
