A brief background
The North Somerset Agricultural Society was formed out of the North Somerset Ploughing Society in 1840 by a small group of farmers. Its sole purpose was to further agricultural development by communicating agricultural issues and providing a showpiece to the local, general public. To this day these aims still ring true.
Traditionally, the North Somerset Show takes place in May and since the early 1900's it was held at Ashton Court near Bristol. In addition to the Show, the Society holds other events during the year including its annual Ploughing Match and Produce Show on the second Saturday in September. |
