Driffield Showground

Driffield Showground offers indoor and outdoor event spaces for organisers in East Yorkshire, from smaller celebrations and business meetings to large public events. Its facilities include two pavilions and a substantial showground site, giving planners a choice of scale and setting.

The Rix Pavilion is a year-round option for conferences, training days, exhibitions, awards dinners and meetings. It accommodates up to 400 people, with modern audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi, kitchen facilities, accessible amenities and flexible room layouts. The Members Pavilion provides a more characterful setting for smaller gatherings, including summer weddings, anniversaries, family parties and meetings. It has tables and chairs, kitchen facilities, parking and exclusive use for booked events, with organisers able to bring their own suppliers.

For larger productions, the showground makes 78 acres available for hire. Its open fields, multiple event areas, vehicle access, parking, power and water points, and camping-related facilities can support festivals, rallies, agricultural events, cycling and motorsport gatherings. Availability for outdoor bookings depends on the season and ground conditions.

The venue is a flexible choice for event planners who want to shape their own programme and bring in suppliers to suit their plans. Depending on the space hired, facilities may include audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi, tables and chairs, kitchen access and parking. The site also has experience hosting major public events, so organisers can enquire about the pavilion or wider grounds to find a suitable option for their event.
