Exhibitions

With some of the largest purpose-built exhibition spaces in Nottinghamshire, alongside a range of smaller, flexible venues, Newark Showground offers a variety of options to suit exhibitions of all sizes.

Our adaptable exhibition halls provide over 14,000sqm of internal space, making them ideal for everything from large-scale trade shows and public exhibitions to shell-scheme or space-only events. The venues are equally suited to equipment auctions, dealer days, product launches, and specialist industry events, giving organisers the flexibility to create layouts that work for their exhibitors and visitors.

The large, clear-span indoor spaces allow for easy event design, whether you’re hosting hundreds of exhibitors or creating dedicated feature areas, stages, or demonstration zones. With a practical layout and strong infrastructure, our venues make set-up, logistics, and event flow simple for organisers and exhibitors alike.

In addition to our indoor venues, Newark Showground boasts 126 acres of flat, outdoor space, providing the capacity to host very large exhibitions, festivals, and specialist events. These outdoor areas can also be seamlessly combined with our indoor halls, allowing events to expand across the site or use only the space required.

Whether you’re organising a major national exhibition or a niche industry event, Newark Showground offers the scale, flexibility, and professional support needed to deliver a successful and memorable event.
