Event organiser James Cox said: "This May bank holiday, we welcome in the new season with a spring get-together for Dorset.
"We open the farm gates with a new enlarged venue and an enhanced offering to provide a great family day out.
"The show has already sold out for stands in our shopping pavilion and the 50-metre-long food hall, providing a great place to buy local."
