Getting Here & Parking
The Rural Living Show takes place at King's College Prep School, with visitor access via Kingston Road, Taunton, TA2 8AA.
Parking
Free parking is available on site, with our fantastic parking team on hand to direct you when you arrive.
During busy periods, additional parking is available at Pyrland School on Cheddon Road, with a complimentary shuttle bus running to and from the show throughout the day.
At peak times, we recommend dropping passengers at the main entrance before the driver continues to the overflow car park. Alternatively, the overflow car park is approximately a 5–10 minute walk from the show.
Wet Weather
In wet conditions, parking on the main field may be restricted to 4x4 vehicles or closed entirely. If this happens, our parking team will direct visitors to the overflow car park and shuttle service.
Accessibility
An accessible route through the show is marked in green on our floor plan.
Please be aware that King's College Prep School is an older building and, due to the layout of the venue, a small number of areas can only be accessed via steps.
An accessible toilet will be available throughout the event, with its location marked by the green WC icon on our floor plan.
Dogs:
As much as we would love to allow our furry friends to attend the show, I'm afraid they are not permitted at the venue. Assistance dogs are very welcome.
