Whatever event you are planning
Unthank Park is set in the beautiful Dales surroundings by the banks of the River Wear just a short walk from the Front Street and local amenities in Stanhope.
The Showground is no stranger to big events. Home to the annual Stanhope Show, Unthank Park is sufficiently large to accommodate the numerous stands, marquees and car parking that are a necessary part of staging a successful event.
Throughout the year our superb show ground hosts many parties, rallies, festivals, shows and private gatherings. Our stunning showground is available to suit all sizes and budgets.
