Perth Show organisers are preparing for a “completey different layout” at next weekend’s event.
The show has moved from Lesser South Inch, over Edinburgh Road, to the main South Inch.
Heavy rain at last year’s event destroyed the grass and it has not recovered in time.
Despite the move, organiser Neil Forbes is excited about the possibilities the larger area will bring on August 3 and 4.
He said: “The inch hasn’t totally recovered from last year.
“The problem was the city wouldn’t let us do any restoration work as we are not contractors.
“We were only advised a month ago that we were moving, so there has not been much of a chance to change what we do.
“Despite being at the park in the past, this year we have a completely different layout which is a lot better.
“It will create a much better ambiance for everybody involved.”
The 153rd edition of the annual show will bring together its usual plethora of livestock, with a grand parade held on the final day.
This year, the Perth Show is working in conjunction with the creators of Perthshire On A Plate, to bring some of the area’s finest foods into the spotlight.
A cookery theatre will run throughout the event’s two days, featuring demonstrations with local chefs.
The show is also used as a qualifier for horses for the Caledonian Showing Championships.
Riders will take to the equestrian event in an attempt to qualify for the grand final in Fife in October.
The Friday is set aside for the equine competitions, with judging taking place all day.
A champion of champions event will take place on the Saturday, alongside a grand parade.
Mr Forbes added: “The first day is set aside for horse and pony competitions.
“The Saturday will welcome the rest of the livestock, including heavy horses, cattle, goats and donkeys.
“We then have the champion of champions event, which is judged between the heavy horses, sheep and goats, with one being crowned champion of the show ground.
“It then leads on to our grand parade, which is one of the finest examples of a parade of livestock in the country.
“It’s a spectacular thing to watch and the closest people will get to livestock in general.
“It’s an agricultural event which has diversified into a food festival and it’s like bringing the country to the town with something for everyone.”
Tickets can be purchased at the gate with adult prices at £12, pensioners at £10, concessions at £6 and under-12s free.
