Getting Here
From the East:
As you enter Carmarthen follow the signs for the A40 St Clears. The Showground is about 1 mile west of Carmarthen on the dual carriageway.
From the North:
Travel on the A40 into Carmarthen and follow signs to St Clears as above.
From the West:
Take the A40 from St Clears towards Carmarthen and follow Showground signs on dual carriageway just before you reach Carmarthen.
Access & Parking
The site is accessed directly from the A40 dual carriageway by slip roads and a flyover making site entry and exit from the both fast, safe and capable of handling a large number of cars without hold-ups.
The very wide quarter mile long entrance road allows three cars to queue side-by-side. This means that at peak periods, if the pay booths cannot transact as fast as the cars arrive, there is no danger of the queues backing up onto the public highway.
There is parking for more than 1000 cars within just a short walk to the Exhibition hall and the show field.
