Overview & Capacity

The Bloem Show Grounds is the province's only true large-format exhibition venue - the agricultural society's expo halls that host the annual Bloem Show (330 exhibitors, 126,000-plus visitors) and hire out flexibly from 20 to about 4,000 people. It runs on a bring-your-own-caterer model at municipal-adjacent rates, which is exactly what a big trade show or product launch wants: raw space and freedom to build. B&W supplies the full production and catering stack. For any Free State brief that needs real exhibition scale, there is no alternative in the province - this is it.
