What do visitors say?
For several years the show has run a survey to gauge what the people think and more importantly where we can improve.
To the left you will find some of that feedback: Overwhelmingly positive but some pointers for doing it better.
The last survey (250 responses) gave us a net promotor score of 73 (on a scale of -100 to +100) which is considered a world class approval rating. High praise indeed.
From the Chairman
Dik Hoogmoed
2025 will be my 8th show as Chairman. Looking back on the 2024 show and its success (the best show show to date in all aspects) gives me great pride in the volunteer team that make this happen.
The show is now so big and successful that planning activities for next year’s show need to start immediately after the show ends.
To then receive accolades as you can read in the survey quotes above is music to my ears. Not only do we provide a wonderful day out to all those visitors, we also manage to raise significant sums of money for all the good causes.
Long may it continue! Do come and enjoy the 2025 Capel Show.
