It is because security measures are being stepped up in light of recent terror attacks which have taken place in Manchester and various parts of London.

Vehicles entering the ground to help stalls and exhibitors set up on the day will also be randomly searched.

The event runs from July 7-9.

Show manager Lucy Hegarty said: "We are asking our visitors to limit the items they bring to the Show so that the bag searches cause the least possible impact and delays and we would like to thank the public for their support.

"We are aware that this may mean a longer wait at peak times. Visitors should to arrive earlier to avoid these peaks."

Although there are no plans for the site security staff includes Security Industry Authority licensed teams who have been appropriately trained and will be conducting thorough security checks for people accessing the showground, as well as patrols inside the event.

It comes as security was also stepped up at Armed Forces Day over the weekend.
