Devon County Show

About

There’s only one place in Devon where on just three days of the year the county is revealed in all its glory! We’re looking forward to treating our visitors to the best of food, farming and entertainment all in one day.

Farming is at the very heart of the Show – stockmen and women from the county and beyond will be competing in the show ring and agricultural machinery and suppliers will be out in force. There’ll be literally thousands of animals – from exceptional livestock to dazzling Arab horses, family ponies, canine superstars competing in the pedigree Dog Show, lofty alpacas and pigeons, rabbits and guinea pigs. We’re putting together a thrilling programme of day-long entertainment.

How has the show changed over the years?  Well, the agricultural core of the event - the livestock and the machinery - is as strong as ever, but just as the rural economy has grown and diversified from its farming base, then so has the show.  Top quality, locally produced food and drink has become a key element, to the benefit of both showgoers and the businesses of the producers, while the focus of the whole event has shifted.  What was once a show about farming for farmers has become a show about everything that happens in the Devon countryside, for everyone.  And that change has been achieved without the show ever losing touch with its historic, agricultural roots.

See you there!!!!
