Every year, the Dauntsey Festival of Transport & Country Show proudly offers free charity pitches to help incredible causes raise awareness and funds with our visitors. It’s one of the ways we stay true to our roots as a not-for-profit, community-driven event, using our platform to give back to those who make a real difference locally and beyond.
In 2025, we were thrilled to welcome a fantastic range of charities and community groups to the showground, each bringing something unique to our event and engaging visitors in inspiring ways.
Our 2025 Charity Pitch Holders
- The RWB Shed – A wonderful local community group encouraging creativity, connection, and wellbeing through shared projects and friendly conversation.
- Help for Heroes – Supporting our wounded veterans and their families, helping them rebuild their lives after service.
- RAFA (Royal Air Forces Association) – Providing vital support to current and former members of the RAF and their families.
- Wiltshire Council Fostering Team – Sharing information about fostering and inspiring more people to open their homes and hearts to children in care.
- Wiltshire Wildlife Trust – Educating visitors about local wildlife and conservation efforts to protect Wiltshire’s natural environment.
- Chrissies Owls – Captivating visitors with their stunning rescued owls while raising awareness about bird welfare and education.
- Atwell Wilson Car Museum – A local gem preserving the history of motoring and bringing a nostalgic touch to the show with their displays.
These organisations helped make the 2025 event extra special — from hosting engaging displays and activities to meeting hundreds of visitors who stopped by to learn, donate, and show their support.
