Agricultural Shows

The UK plays host to hundreds of agricultural, horticultural and equine shows each and every year.

So what can you expect to see at an Agricultural show. At a large annual event like the North Devon Show there are host of livestock classes including Alpacas, Cattle, Goats, Horses, Sheep, Show Jumping and an Open Dog Show. In addition, you will find a flower marquee, food hall, craft tent, poultry marquee. There are demonstrations by gun dogs, racing ferrets, rural skills. As well as vintage vehicles and a fun fair.

Other things you may see at events include: Carriage driving, show jumping, shire horses, show ponies, dog shows, sheep dog handling, etc

Almost all shows will have some form of prize giving for best in breed shows.

Smaller events may be purely livestock events.

If you want to study agriculture in the UK, the Royal Agricultural College in Gloucestershire is a good place to start. Or if you are north of the border in Scotland, you could take a look at the Scottish Agricultural College.

The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has a wealth of information on agriculture. When we did a search, we found more than 65,000 documents.

There is an Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations that has been running since 1923
