Enjoy your Visitor Experience!
We want you to have a fantastic time at this year’s Devon County Show. It’s a great Family Day Out, a must for everyone who lives and works in the town or in the countryside, for the seasoned visitor and those who have never been to our County Show before.
Friendly stewards guide you into the car park and many more are on hand in the Showground throughout the day to answer questions and help you find your way around.
There are lots of places to eat and drink, in fact the Showground is bursting with the very best of local produce for you to taste, try and buy and at great prices. And if you want to bring a picnic you can take your pick of great places to enjoy it! Sit on the grassy banks or in the picnic areas and enjoy watching the world go by while you eat! Or grab a seat around one of our six busy Rings and be entertained by flying bikes, flying falcons, marvel at the biggest bull or the best bulldog! There is so much to see and do!
