Show Secretary, Ollie Allen said they were getting ready to serve up ‘a giant slice of Devon country life’.

“The Show offers so much for everyone to enjoy,” she said.

“There will be delicious local food, prize-winning animals, a fantastic array of West Country crafts and flowers and six Show rings packed with activity and entertainment.”

Among the highlights will be the freestyle motocross stunt team, The Bolddog Lings and a huge new interactive Farm Wise Devon feature especially for children where they can see where their food comes from as well as ‘have a go’ in a great Food Zone.
