Avoiding the Bridges - for
pram and wheelchair users
Our Bridge Avoidance wristbands will help you avoid the
temporary bridges that expand over the 2 main roads and divide the
Showground in to areas. Please request the Bridge Avoidance
Wristband from security staff at each relevant Gate i.e. Gate C to
access Gate J, and Gate H to access Gate E and vice versa for
return journey – see Entry Map for guidance.
The Police request that visitors must
use the pelican crossing when crossing West Quay Road between Gate
C and Gate J.
Care of Children
Don’t forget to obtain a Kids wristband from security. This
helps us reunite children quickly with their parents if they become
lost. We follow a strict lost children’s policy. Please encourage
young children to only speak to a Security Stewards or Show
Information Hosts - they will be happy to help. Please ensure older
children roaming the Show on their own or with friends, know where
to meet parents and how to contact them at a set time at the end of
the day.
