Quad bikes, cocktails and comedy cooking: Bath & West Show reveals what’s in store for 2025

The Bath & West Show is back for 2025 — and it's bigger, louder, and tastier than ever.
Whether you're there for the quad bike stunts, the heavy horses, or just a proper good feed, this year's line-up promises a full day (or three) of family fun, food, farming and four-legged friends.
The Main Ring will be packed with action all weekend, with Pony Club Games, Show Jumping, the Vintage Vehicle Parade, Scurry Racing, and the return of the mighty Heavy Horses. But the star of the show? That's Paul Hannam's Quad Bike Stunt Show — back by popular demand and guaranteed to get your heart racing.

Food, drink and famous faces
Over in the Great British Kitchen, foodie fans are in for a treat. TV cocktail maestro Andy Clarke is back shaking things up, alongside 'Fuss Free Foodie' Lisa Cadd. New for this year is comedian-chef George Egg, who'll be cooking with a side of laughs, plus James Strawbridge and Big Nath's BBQ, who'll be firing things up on the grill.
Inspired? Head straight to the Regional Food & Drink Pavilion where top Somerset names like Barbers, Wyke, Thatchers, and Brothers will be showcasing their best produce – and yes, samples are usually involved.

Something for the kids – and the dogs
Little ones can learn while they play in the Discover the Future zone inside the Showering Building, while Lakeside Farm will be home to all things agricultural — think poultry, small animals, and a chance to get hands-on.
And don't worry, dogs are very much on the guest list too. The hit Bark & West area returns after its hugely popular debut in 2024, complete with Pawsability, a Have-a-Go ring, and the ever-patriotic Great British Dogs showcase.

Music, Morris and your own personalised app
It wouldn't be the Bath & West Show without live music, and this year the Pilton Tent (sponsored by Glastonbury Festival, no less) brings the vibes with The Old Time Sailors, The Rivertones, and the Funky Monkey Bubble Club.
You'll also find Somerset Morris, The Jelly Roll Jazz Band, and The Piano Bike Girl Chloe Marie Aston doing the rounds on the Main Lawn and across the showground.
And if you're the type who likes to plan ahead, the brand new Bath & West Show App will help you build your own schedule, follow the Family Trail, and make sure you don't miss a thing.
