Staffordshire County Showground
The Staffordshire County Showground, home to Bingley Hall, is a major events and exhibition venue located near Stafford, England. Bingley Hall, the centrepiece, is a large, versatile exhibition space often used for trade shows, fairs, and corporate events. Opened in the 1970s, it has become known for hosting a diverse range of gatherings, including antique fairs, agricultural shows, automotive events, and even concerts. With its ample parking, on-site facilities, and nearby transportation links, the venue is well-suited for large crowds. Surrounded by the scenic Staffordshire countryside, the showground provides a unique blend of urban accessibility and rural charm, making it a popular spot for both organizers and visitors.
The showground gives us all the facilities we need to run one of the world’s most prestigious alpaca shows
- All exhibitors for the Halter Show brought together in one hall
- A mezzanine wrapped around the hall providing excellent viewing plus further exhibition space for the Fleece and Fibre Shows, room for trade stands and a cafeteria
- Further space in the adjoining annex for our 3rd ring featuring alpaca training and agility
- The Bingley Arms pub and banqueting hall all on site sorting out the social scene!
The showground is centrally located in the country with plenty of (free) parking and exhibitors are able to bring their caravan, motorhome or camping gear and stay on site.
The best placed local hotels are just under 20 minutes away and we will be running shuttle services to and from them to the showground across the weekend so that everyone can enjoy the hospitality.
It’s been a pleasure getting to know the team at Stafford who are looking forward to welcoming us all.
‘The Showground is delighted to host the British Alpaca Society National Show on 21st – 23rdMarch 2025 and we look forward to a long and happy association with the Society. We believe Bingley Hall is the ideal venue for the event offering in excess of 7000 square meters of exhibition space.’
