This years Show will have all the popular family favourites, plus some new
attractions, such as the new Retro area. If youve never visited before, the
2018 Rotherham Show is not to be missed!
To help cover the Shows running costs, a £5 per car parking charge on
Herringthorpe Playing Fields has been introduced for this years event.
We want to continue running this great free show, which has delighted the
public of Rotherham and beyond for almost 40 years, and this parking charge
will enable us to help cover the costs of staging this event, added Cllr
Allen.

Show itself, while improving the variety of entertainment on offer year on
year, to all who visit.
