The Suffolk Show is an annual
show that takes place at
Trinity Park, on the eastern edge of
Ipswich in the
Purdis Farm area of the
English county of
Suffolk. It is organised by the Suffolk Agricultural Association, which was established in 1831 (registered charity no.
288595).[1]
Cancellations
The Suffolk Show was cut short in 2012 due to high winds,[2] resulting in a loss of at least £500,000 in revenue.[2] The Suffolk show offered refunds to ticket-holders and traders for the cancelled second day,[3] a decision which the show's committee and executive board agreed upon unanimously.[2]
Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Suffolk Show was canceled in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, it returned with
RAF and
Army parachute displays, 600 trade stands, and 12 competition rings.[4] The 2022 return of the show also saw a
Platinum Jubilee pageant for then British monarch
Queen Elizabeth II, where the 588-mile[5] Festival of Suffolk torch relay in honour of which came to an end. The relay was "part of several county-wide events taking place to celebrate the Queen's 70th year as monarch."[5]
