The Suffolk Show is an annual
English county of Suffolk
. It is organised by the Suffolk Agricultural Association, which was established in 1831 (registered charity no.

Cancellations
- The Suffolk Show was cut short in 2012 due to high winds,[2] resulting in a loss of at least £500,000 in revenue.[2] The Suffolk show offered refunds to ticket-holders and traders for the cancelled second day,[3] a decision which the show's committee and executive board agreed upon unanimously.[2]
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Suffolk Show was canceled in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, it returned with RAF and Army parachute displays, 600 trade stands, and 12 competition rings.[4] The 2022 return of the show also saw a Platinum Jubilee pageant for then British monarch Queen Elizabeth II, where the 588-mile[5] Festival of Suffolk torch relay in honour of which came to an end. The relay was "part of several county-wide events taking place to celebrate the Queen's 70th year as monarch."[5]
