How does a park and ride work?
What Does “Park & Ride” Stand For? Also known by its abbreviation “P+R”, a park-and-ride system is a public transportation system in which commuters drive to a central location and leave their cars there before boarding a bus or train.
Join us on Saturday 12th of July 2025 for an action-packed day for the whole family including classes for Cattle, Sheep, Horses, Canine , Education & Horticulture Competition.
You will find shops along High Street, Durngate Street and Trinity Street. And you won't want to miss the big named brands at Brewery Square next to Dorchester South Railway Station. On the outskirts of Dorchester, you'll find the town of Poundbury with its eclectic mix of independent retailers and cute coffee shops.
Dorchester market is one of Dorset's biggest indoor markets with over 200 traders regularly attending. Grab yourselves some bargains from the vast variety of stalls, selling everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, to clothing, plants, and crafts!
The two-day show attracts 60,000 people and is held each year at the Dorchester Showground. Designed to promote agribusiness through traditional competitions, events, and demonstrations, the show offers the farming community the chance to exhibit the best of their wares to the public.
Can I bring my dog to the County Show? Yes! Well behaved dogs on non-extendable leads are welcome at the Show but will not be permitted within Food Halls nor Animal Areas.
The majority of on-street parking and car parks in Dorchester are chargeable during the day 08.00 – 18.00. However, you will find free parking after 18.00 in the main car parks around the town centre. Just Park phone app and car parking machines are available at most locations.
On-street pay and display parking is marked by signs, payment machines and markings on the road. You can pay for parking with cash at the machine or on your mobile. Visit the JustPark website, or download the app for iPhone or Android.
Up to 30-minutes in our Park & Ride car parks is free, with periods between 30-minutes and 1-hour 59-minutes starting at £9.40. Longer term parking can also be paid for on the day, with the first day costing £40.80, and additional 24-hour periods starting at £32.90 during off-peak periods.
Can I use my older person's bus pass on Park & Ride services? Yes, all Park & Ride locations accept concessionary travelcards passes after 9am from Monday to Friday and all day Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays (where operating).
At the South of England Show, although dogs are allowed into the show it is not recommended – with the exception of assistance dogs. This is due to the large numbers of visitors and livestock areas where dogs are not permitted and the potential for hot weather.
There is free parking at the showground, including Blue Badge holder areas located close to the gate. For parking, please follow the signs or ask an attendant. Some of our parking is located on grass where the ground is uneven, so please take care and bear this in mind when visiting.
Updated on: 18 Jun, 2022. The Surrey County Show has been cancelled for a third year running, but reports that the show organisers, Surrey County Agricultural Society (SCAS), was about to go into administration were denied by show's chair Jonathan Thompson.
