Mid Devon Show - 22nd July 2023

Plans for the 30^th Mid Devon Show are well under way which will be held on Saturday 22nd July. The show is a Charity with its aims to promote Mid Devon and Agriculture through education and exposure to all that Mid Devon has to offer. Annually the show supports local young people by way of scholarships to support them in furthering their education, assist them to achieve a life enhancing experience or achieve an award or qualification. In addition to this we also have a nominated charity for each show. This year we are delighted to have CHAT. All our show activities go towards supporting these worthy causes.

This Year’s show will be packed full of Entertainment and there is something for everyone, making it one of Devon’s Best Days Out. The Main Ring headline act this year will be a Quadbike Stunt Show performing breath-taking jumps and stunts. In addition to the normal favourites, we will also have Shetland Ponyl Pony Display Team, Young Farmers, Classic Vehicle Parade and Much More.

Elsewhere around the show ground we have our wonderful Countryside Area packed full of entertainment from Ferret racing to Birds of Prey. Our Music Fest is packed with performances throughout the day with a lovely variation of styles. We are pleased to be joined by local groups from Choirs to bands and everything in between. Of course the Livestock Competitions remain at the heart of the show. Hundreds of Cattle, Sheep, Pygmy goats and Heavy Horses compete for the top prizes. Also one of the visitors favourites is the Pig Exhibition and this remains at the centre of the livestock area.

Elsewhere around the show ground  we have the Fun Fair, Bouncy Castles, Flower & Garden Marquee, Classic Vehicles, Vintage Tractors and Ride on Model Railway.

The Dog Ring has now become a major feature of the show and a fun dog show takes place throughout the day. Turn up and join in and every dog that enters received a rosette. We also have flyball demonstrations in the ring and you can also let your dog have a go!

The Sheep Show returns and if you have not seen this hilarious and educational performance then it’s a must. If you have seen it, then you will want to see it again!

If shopping is your thing, then we have you covered. Our famous Food and Drink Marquee has over 50 producers from across the South West with both local offerings and tastes from across the world. Our Magpie Market Marquee has 48 artisan traders with an eclectic mix of products to tempt you. Our Craft Marquee is home to 35 local crafters with products manufactured from raw materials. Then of course we have up to 300 Outside Trade Stands which range from small local traders to big National Companies. Offering you the chance to buy anything from a Dog Lead to a £250,000 Tractor.

The Show is set in the Beautiful Parklands of the National Trusts Knightshayes, overlooking the Town of Tiverton. Parking is Free and we also offer a free Bus Service from Cullompton, our Park & Ride Site and from around the Tiverton Area.
