The Curdridge Country Show is an annual show held in Curdridge, Hampshire, England. The event is held mid-July on a Saturday, and attracts up to 7000 attendees each year. 2013 will be the show's 57th year.

The show is a traditional family orientated country fair, and showcases a variety of competitions and events, such as the ‘Dog Factor’ dog show, falconry display, vintage car parade and much more. There is also the popular horticultural competition with dozens of categories ranging from fruit cake to roses, as well as a good number of trade and craft stalls selling their wares and providing demonstrations. The fair also has a selection of traditional side shows such as a coconut shy, plate smashing and tombolas. A barbecue, hog roast and bar provide refreshments for the duration of the event. A traditional barn dance is held on the Saturday evening to close the event.
