Planned New Stockman's Cafe at Three Counties Showground

Buy a brick in the new Stockman’s Café

We need your support to help us replace the Stockman’s Café with a new, bigger facility.

In return for a £100 minimum donation, we’re offering the opportunity for our members and supporters to have their name or message engraved on a brick featured on a Donor Wall inside the café.

About Stockman’s Café

The existing café and toilets serve the exhibitors who attend the Royal Three Counties Show – providing somewhere to shelter, have a hot meal, rest and socialise with friends old and new. The café is open during most of our shows, and also helps us generate income through venue hire, with organisers hiring it for more than 25 events a year.

It is now in a poor state of repair and coming to the end of its usable life. Almost £300,000 has already been secured to replace it with a new, larger and much improved café and toilet facility, and we are now running a fundraising campaign to raise the remaining funds needed.
