Powis Estates’ Showfield offers a fully serviced event site in Wales, located in an unrivalled setting just a short walk from Welshpool, the ‘Gateway to Wales’.
This outdoor venue in Powys has been levelled in parts to function as a showground and includes gated access, a short stone track, and hardstanding. With mains water and electricity on-site, it is a practical choice for organisers looking to hire a showground in Wales with built-in utilities.
The Showfield has a long and well-established history of event hire in Powys. The annual Welshpool Country Music Festival has taken place on the site for over 30 years, cementing its reputation as a trusted festival site in Mid Wales. The Showfield has also hosted the Transport Festival and, notably, the Royal Welsh Show in 1960, before the event moved to its permanent home in Builth Wells in 1963.
Set beneath the backdrop of Powis Castle and overlooking the Severn Valley, the Showfield offers a memorable setting for outdoor events of all sizes. Easily accessible from Welshpool via the Montgomeryshire Canal, it combines historic charm with practical flexibility, ideal for both community gatherings and private functions.
If you are looking for an atmospheric and fully serviced venue in Mid Wales for your next event, the Powis Estates Showfield is an ideal event space. To enquire about availability, please contact the Estate Office.
