The Hertfordshire County Show is an event held in order to raise funds for the Hertfordshire Agricultural Society, a registered charity (charity number 291037), which promotes and showcases local farming, agriculture, and related skills, crafts, trades, and professions. The funds raised from this event are vital in helping to support Hertfordshire Agricultural Society’s charitable activities throughout the year.
