We recently used one of the meeting rooms in the Norfolk Pavilion at the South of England Showground, Ardingly, to host the southern meeting of AHDB's 5 Non-Negotiables of a Resilient Dairy Business programme, featuring Rodney and Dorothy Elliott of Drumgoon Dairy, South Dakota, USA. The experience was outstanding from start to finish. The team at the South of England Agricultural Society provided exceptional service, with great attention to detail throughout the planning and delivery of the event. The catering was excellent, the facilities were first-class, and the overall package represented fantastic value for money. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to host a professional event.

A big Thank You to all the staff at The South of England Event Centre. They have been absolutely fantastic. Their help and support has been incredible right up to and including on the day. Nothing has been too much trouble and they couldn't do enough / more to help. Whatever your event, consider their facilities - great location, great venues, great service and you'll be sure to have a great day.

Thank you so much for all the hard work your team put into our Fiesta last Friday. It went really well, and our clients / staff had a fantastic time. The support and help provided throughout was very much appreciated and helped the event to run so smoothly. The catering team also did a fantastic job and food selection/drinks options were perfect.

Southdown Fiesta

Warners Shows organise events with all major showgrounds across England. It was a pleasure to work, from start to finish, with such a professional and helpful team on site as we launched our new event on the South of England Showground. From point of sale through to ground staff. Looking forward to returning in 2024.
