Devon County Show
The Devon County Show is an agricultural show held annually over three days in May at the Westpoint Arena and Showground in Clyst St Mary near Exeter. It is one of a number of county shows in the United Kingdom.
The history of the show goes back to 1872, when the Devon County Agricultural Association was formed to undertake promotion of the Devon County Show.[1] The show was held at various sites around the county until 1956, when it moved to its first permanent site at Whipton, Exeter. The show moved to its present site in 1990.
