The Suffolk Show 2023

The Suffolk Show is a big deal in the region and we were very happy that Bridge Classic Cars had the opportunity to attend this year.

We worked alongside our friends at East Anglian Air Ambulance and enjoyed seeing the thousands of people that made the trip to Trinity Park over the two days.

There was a huge range of activities and exhibits for all the family to enjoy. These included:

• Military Zone where you can sit in the Gazelle helicopter or play noughts and crosses with a Navy diver
• You can make a key ring, try your hand at electronic drums or try your hand at scientific explosions in the Suffolk Skills Zone
• In the Sports Zone, you can try your hand at archery, have a go at athletics track and field events, and there will be a mini off-road cycle circuit for children to enjoy
• Whilst in the Farm Discovery Zone, you can extract DNA from a strawberry, make a pizza or enjoy a Sheep Show
• Visit the Emergency Service Zone and meet Suffolk’s Real Life Superheroes from many emergency services saving lives on land and sea
• In the Countryside & Wildlife Zone, you will be able to do some pond dipping, bird spotting and insect identification as well as watch pole climbing and expert axemen demonstrations

Our Day

A great two days were had by myself and Freddie, we had the opportunity to meet lots of new people. The Triumph Spitfire proved to be very popular to all ages and when we popped the bumper up we dazzled hundreds with the sparkling clean engine. The feelings of nostalgia sparked in many show why this is a great and timeless classic car.

Extra Information

The Suffolk Show is run and managed by the Suffolk Agricultural Association.  As a charity, the SAA’s core purpose is to promote the importance of food, farming and the countryside to the economy and character of Suffolk through the Suffolk Show itself and a series of education programmes aimed at young people in schools and colleges.
