The Keyworth Show is traditionally held annually on the second Saturday in July. It is sponsored by the Keyworth Playing Fields Association. Its two primary purposes are to bring the village together and to raise funds for capital projects for the benefit of the local sports clubs. It is situated on the Keyworth Playing Fields, formerly known as the Rectory Playing Fields.

The show is organised each year by the Show Committee which is made up of voluntary enthusiasts and member club representatives.Their prime objective is to create a Family Fun Day attracting visitors from the surrounding areas of south Nottinghamshire and north Leicestershire.

The Keyworth Show is a fun filled family day full of entertainments including a fairground, falconry display, local dancers, dog show, tug of war, and vintage cars. There is also a variety of stalls including arts and crafts, quality foods and produce from around the East Midlands.

Held in conjunction with the Show, the Keyworth Horticultural, Arts and Crafts Show takes place in the Marquee on the showground.
