3 Weird and wacky activities to try at the Royal Bath & West Show 2019

The Royal Bath & West Show is certainly like no other show ever seen. Taking place over the course of four days until it’s close on Saturday evening, this year's show is jam-packed with more entertainment than ever before. So to help you navigate your way through the show, Total Guide to Bath has put together its top picks for the weird, wonderful, and unusual things to take part in at the Royal Bath & West Show 2019.

Off - Roading

The first image that springs to mind when you think of the Royal Bath & West Show certainly isn’t mud-blasting 4x4 offroading. However, this years show lets you enjoy the thrills of adrenaline-injecting offroading as the team at Xtreme Offroad operate their 4x4 passenger experiences. Sitting passenger you’ll be experiencing driving like no other as your driver rallies their way around one of the UK’s best offroad tracks. If you’re feeling super brave then why not test your nerve in one of their Wildcat Dakar rally cars which offer high-speed trips around the course.

Make Your Own Cheese

Cheese is one of the World’s oldest - and most delicious - staple foods. And now the team at The Royal & West Bath Show are offering you the chance to take part in making your very own mozzarella cheese! Situated in the Farming for the Family exhibit, representatives from Wyke Farms will aid you in taking part of the cheese making process as you roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. If cheese isn’t your thing then fear not as there is an amazing selection of farm animals to interact and play with as you get stuck in with farm life.

Sheep Shearing Competition

Sticking with the farming theme, have you ever heard of sheep shearing? If you’ve answered yes then carry on reading, as this year's Bath and West Show 2019 put on their World-renowned sheep shearing competition. Over 150 competitors will partake in the various stages of the tournament that will see around 1,500 sheep shorn during the duration of the show. With master shearers - we think that’s the correct term - being able to shear an entire sheep in under 45 seconds, this isn’t just impressive but a spectacle to behold in person.
