Visitor Information

Follow signs to the Pencoed Campus of Bridgend College main entrance and be prepared to follow the direction of the marshalls to park your vehicle. In an effort to keep the traffic flowing and not block the roundabout we will not be asking for the entrance fee at the main gate, but once you are on foot and entering the show field. However, if you are disabled you must make this known to the marshalls at this stage and you will be directed appropriately. Once parked, follow the signs to the show field and be prepared to pay - please try and have the correct cash available. We charge the person, not the car. Members of the public visiting on the day will be charged £5 per adult, £3 per Senior Citizen or child and £10 for a family ticket (2 adults with 2 children under 16). All of the entry income is donated to charity.

If you are arriving on foot, the same applies - follow the pedestrian signs and the direction of the marshalls. Take care when crossing lines of traffic, it can get very busy.

Once on the show field as well as all the attractions there are refreshment stalls, toilets and first aid facilities available.

Re-entry is allowed, but please ensure you obtain a 'hand stamp' prior to your first departure. When leaving please ensure you follow the exit signs - following any directions from the marshalls. Take particular care by the main entrance - if you leave early, when others are still arriving we have to impose a traffic control system.

Have a great time ! - The SWCCC would like to thank you in advance for all your support -
