The 51st North Devon Show will take place at Umberleigh Barton Farm on Wednesday 2nd August a fantastic day out for the family

The Show prides itself on retaining the agricultural heritage of the area, as well as showcasing the magnifi- cent animals bred in our region, we also have a fabulous display of produce in our foodhall. Our area has a fine tradition of producing high quality food plus a variety of local beers and wines. Over the years we have endeavoured to provide a first class agricultural show embracing the country way of life through our Rural Skills, Vintage Vehicles and Rare Breeds of animals, to the future with our traders providing an excellent range of high tech machinery and farming equipment. This year we are running our Long Service Awards in Agriculture & Horticulture and new classes have been introduced in our Horticul- tural and Floral Art Schedule. We have introduced a Pig Exhibition this year and demonstrations from Dartington Crystal will be taking place in the Arcade throughout the day. We have a Fairground and lots of attractions including in the Main Ring: Bolddog ‘Lings’ Freestyle Team and in our Tarka Ring: Mountain Aerial Display Team. Plus all our other firm favourites: Crafts & Gifts, Arcade, Open trade, Country Pursuits, Classic Cars, Young Farmers Rally and much more. Also, keep your eye out for TITAN the Robot making appearances during the day. All this, set in the beautiful North Devon Countryside offers a perfect day out. There are buses from South Molton and a shuttle bus from Umberleigh Railway Station. In addition, free parking is available on site all day.
