Bristol MotorCycle show: setting up for success

Setting up in readiness for weekend show

Labelled the 'Bristol' Show as a tribute to the Show's origins, it's actually held 25 miles down the road at Shepton Mallet, Somerset…

The Bristol Show is the third largest classic show in the UK and probably the most popular for those who want to soak up the journey and enjoy the scenery, as it's in picturesque Somerset, with plenty to see and do. We're expecting over 20,000 visitors to make the pilgrimage to Shepton Mallet, so it's going to buzz, and as most of the action takes place under the cover of the huge halls, the Show is as weatherproof as it can get.
