About the Venue - Trinity Park (Suffolk County Showground
)

Trinity Parkis probably the best venue of its type in the country, that's without a word of exaggeration. It is quite simply - SUPERB. With a variety of permanent buildings, complete with power and all manner of facilities. There are toilet and shower blocks throughout the 250 acre site. All roads are virtually flat and every one is a tarmac surface, and on top of that they all have lighting. Access to the site is excellent, with large areas that we can utilise as holding areas for everyone as they arrive. The perimeter fencing is regularly patrolled and is very secure; another inner fence encircles the main 100 acre event arena providing the ideal solution to many of the access problems we have experienced elsewhere.

Buildings:
The Trinity building is a multi-purpose brick built unit with moveable internal partitions that make it a very versatile building, usable for a wide variety of events. It has excellent facilities and toilets within the building itself.

The unfortunately named cattle building is the ideal substitute for the main marquee, it is a timber built unit that has some concrete hard-standing inside and is fully equipped with power and lighting. Its total area is 2,339 sq m or 25,169.79 sq ft with dimensions of 68.8m X 34m or 226ft X 112ft and a height of 5m at its apex and 2.3m at its walls. It also has a number of wide access doors around the whole building. Toilet blocks and other facilities are very close by.
