North Devon Show

The 2012 North Devon Show will be held on the 1st of August at Umberleigh Barton Farm. The North Devon show has something for everyone, making it the best agricultural event in the region. We celebrate North  Devon's agricultural roots with livestock shows throughout the day, including horses, sheep,  beef & dairy cattle, and poultry & pigeons. 

The main attraction will be the Bolddog "Lings" Freestyle Motocross Team. There'll also be show jumping, show driving, sheepdog trials, a wild flower show, and an open dog show for everyone to get involved. Indulge in some of the  region's finest foods and drinks from a range of stalls, or find yourself a unique design from one of 50 arts, crafts and trade tents.  You'll be supporting local craftsmen and women, keeping age-old industries alive. 

You can also cheer the racing ferrets, admire trained gun dogs at work, or even try your hand at fly casting in the Country Pursuits arena. A fun fair with traditional fairground rides and swing seats will keep the children happy, while a display of over 50 vintage tractors and cars will have Granddad reminiscing in the good old days of practical, robust engineering. 

So for a great day out for all of the family (including your dog), make sure you don't miss the 2012 North Devon Show.
