Venues

With 11 flexible conference, exhibition, and hospitality venues offering a total of 14,000sqm of indoor space across our well-organised 84-acre campus, Newark Showground provides adaptable spaces for a wide range of indoor and outdoor events — from business meetings and conferences to exhibitions and large-scale gatherings.

An additional 60 acres of former runways offers up to 8,000 free visitor parking spaces or can be hired for events in their own right. Camping and caravanning are often provided and managed by individual event organisers, with on-site services and facilities available to ensure a comfortable stay.

The flat site is divided into discrete zones and features four horse rings with collecting rings, three warm-up rings, and several smaller animal rings. With free-draining sandy soil over gravel, the grounds remain serviceable even in very wet conditions when other venues might struggle.

The site is fully equipped with site-wide Wi-Fi, CCTV, street lighting, and floodlights across most areas, including runway parking, providing safety, convenience, and flexibility for organisers and visitors alike.

Our in-house catering team, can create delicious meals tailored to your event. From buffet lunches to formal dinners, we provide catering that meets the highest standards.
