Attractions
The famous ‘Imps Motorcycle Display’– the world’s premier military style display team – will be performing in the Grand Ring with a disciplined drill of precision and skill on motorbikes, whilst ‘4 Strides Equestrian UK Ltd’ will be showcasing the speed, agility and athletic ability of rodeo with barrel racing.
And with the sky literally being the limit, not only will spectators enjoy a Battle of Britain Spitfire Memorial Flypast over the showground, but the Royal Air Force Falcons Parachute Display Team will be dropping into the Grand Ring with their spectacular acrobatic aerial display, – so long as cloud conditions permit.
As always there will be plenty to see and do outside the grand ring including farriers in the forge, gun dogs working, pigs racing, musicians entertaining, farm machinery new and old, and tricks on wheels from the ‘3 Sixty Bicycle Stunt Team’, and much much more!

Gundog Display
The Suffolk Gundog Club provide a remarkable display of skill and obedience with their retrievers and spaniels. Replicating a field trial within the grand ring, the dogs are put through their paces searching and retrieving on command. Constantly alert and with their eagerness to work, these dogs and their talented handlers never fail to impress.
Falconry
Thrilling displays of falconry always attract the crowds around the grand ring, as birds of prey soar high over the showground before returning to the glove with deft precision. Accompanied by enlightening and entertaining commentary, a selection of birds will showcase their magnificent wing spans as they dominate the sky at the show. PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE ONGOING RESTRICTIONS WITH REGARD TO AVIAN INFLUENZA THERE WILL BE NO FALCONRY AT THE 2025 SHOW.
Terrier Racing
The East Anglian Jack Russell & Lurcher Club delight the crowds with the antics of their Terrier Racing Team, and invite visitors into the ring to compete with their own dogs. Clear to see the joy on the faces of the dogs (and their owners) as they chase the sock, this is a firm favourite amongst dog lovers, and coupled with an equally popular event especially for the younger children called Race the Terrier!
