The Blackwater Country Show has established itself as one of the most enjoyable family events in the Essex calendar. Situated within a picturesque setting, with two well maintained lakes, it offers a wonderful day out.
The Show is organised by a dedicated team who work throughout the year developing ideas and managing and co-ordinating the various areas of the show. The show promotes the countryside and countryside pursuits and is an exciting, learning and interactive experience for everyone. Many areas of the Show are about The Great Outdoors, taking part, getting active and having fun! Be inspired by the wealth of activities, demonstrations and attractions that we have on the day.
Each year the Show donates to the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance and also to a chosen local club, charity or group.
