Devon County Show - County Show welcomes coach tours!

The friendly Devon County Show in May is the first of the big food and farming shows of the year and offers a warm welcome to groups and coach parties.

The Show is held on May 19, 20 and 21 and is situated at Westpoint, Exeter, just one mile from junction 30 of the M5.

There is an abundance of traditional attractions - magnificent livestock, wonderful food and drink, inspiring flower and garden displays, marvellous crafts, stalls offering a wealth of goods, and lots of traditional entertainment in six rings.

There’s family fun with the dare-devil Bolddog Lings motorcycle display team; a seven-a-side rugby tournament involving the rugby academies from Exeter; Plymouth and Truro; Titan the robot will be wandering the Avenues entertaining visitors with his great range of musical numbers (on Friday and Saturday); and there is top show-jumping, scurry driving, axe racing, sheep racing, vintage tractors and steam engines.

Our livestock is among the best in the region, if not the country. One of this year’s visitors is Adam Henson, presenter on BBC’s Countryfile and a real-life Cotswold farmer. The Red Rubies, the colloquial name for Devon cattle, is holding its national show at the County Show.

Enjoy delicious and wholesome food: local food and drink producers bring the great taste of the countryside to the table with their affordable and tempting produce. Among the talented chefs and cooks taking to the demonstration stage in the magnificent food and drink marquee is Merrilees Parker, who co-presented BBC Two's Anything You Can Cook with Brian Turner and is resident cook on Housecall.
