East of England Agricultural Society

The Society which is a registered charity owns the land known as the East of England Showground in Peterborough, England.

The Long Sutton Agricultural Society (1837) in neighbouring Lincolnshire remains independent and is affiliated for show purposes only.

The first president of the Peterborough Agricultural Society, the 4th Earl Fitzwilliam was elected in 1797.

The annual subscription was one guinea and that amount remained until 1950.

Until 2012,[2] it was the organiser of the East of England Show held each year at the 250 acre (101 ha) East of England Showground at Alwalton, five miles (8 km) west of the city of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire.
