EXCITEMENT is building for the 32nd annual Mid Devon Show, which will take place on Saturday, July 26.

It will be a true celebration of rural life and Show Organiser Colin Nation promises an unforgettable experience.

He explained: “This year’s entertainment is simply phenomenal. Whether you're visiting the Main Ring, Livestock Areas, Countryside Arena, Woof and Wag Dog Zone, or our vibrant Music Fest, there's something for everyone. It truly is one of Devon’s Best Days Out.”

Headline acts in the Main Ring include the spectacular OG Performance Horses, bringing cinematic equestrian displays to Mid Devon.

Audiences can also look forward to high-octane performances from The Rockets Motorcycle Display Team, along with traditional crowd-pleasers like the Tiverton Signpost Club, Young Farmers competitions, and the Classic Vehicle Parade.

Around the showground, families will enjoy attractions such as ferret racing, birds of prey displays, and the ever-popular Livestock Competitions, featuring cattle, sheep, pygmy goats, and heavy horses.

The Devon Cavy Club returns with its adorable guinea pig competition, and the Pig Exhibition continues to be a visitor favourite.

This year’s expanded Woof and Wag Dog Area offers even more fun for four-legged friends, with a fun dog show, flyball demonstrations, and a brand-new Dog Agility Arena. Every canine participant receives a rosette—just turn up and join in!

A special highlight for animal lovers: Aldabra Giant Tortoises will be making a rare appearance. Visitors can enter their enclosure, learn about these gentle giants, and snap some unforgettable selfies.

Music lovers will be treated to a day-long lineup at the Music Fest Stage, featuring local choirs, bands, and a headline performance by “Take a Chance on Us” – a fantastic ABBA tribute band closing out the show.

Shoppers are in for a treat with an impressive selection of stalls:

• The Food and Drink Marquee hosts over 50 South West producers offering regional delicacies and global flavours.

• The Magpie Market Marquee features 50 artisan traders with unique handmade goods.
