Did you know that Devon County Show 2020 will be our 125th Show? To mark this momentous milestone in our history, we've got lots of exciting plans.
To celebrate this milestone, as well as the Women’s Institute’s 100th anniversary and the Exeter Knutty Knitters 10th anniversary, the Show organisers are planning an ambitious Guinness World Record attempt - to beat the Longest Knitted Bunting World Record.
Every day there's a packed programme of entertainment in the Main Arena. This year, taking centre stage, will be the Dancing Diggers, a collection of JCB Diggers and Robot Skidsters performing daredevil antics and formation dancing.
Get up close and personal with over 2,000 animals!
