The Honiton & District Agricultural Association holds its 129th show on Thursday, August 1.

Organisers have already secured some exhilarating acts for the Main Ring including the fantastic Jamie Squibb and his Freestyle Motocross Arena Stunt Show as seen on BBC’s One Show performing breath-taking jumps mid-air, a real crowd pleaser.

The show will also welcome The Devil’s Horsemen, Europe’s number one stunt and trick riding team performing with some of the world’s best known horses with recent film credit Les Miserables.

The fabulous Sheep Show returns with their Dancing Sheep and The Grand Parade is an amazing scene and the real heart of the show – the Cattle and Sheep prize winners proudly parading, livestock judging starts at 9am enjoy all the breeds within the cattle and wheep rings.

If horses are your interest we have classes ranging from Shetlands to Shires – with the wonderful Private Driving and Heavy Horses in Agricultural Harness taking place in the main ring.

The lower field incorporates all that is countryside with hurdle making, ferret racing, a blacksmiths guild, 100 vintage tractors, The West of England Hound Show, The BHBA Marquee showcasing the fantastic businesses within the Blackdown Hills and surrounding market towns and villages, a Dog Show, comprising both pedigree and fun classes for the pet pooch.

If chickens are your interest there will be a poultry show and sale. There will be entertainment in abundance for children with Professor Twistopher’s Punch and Judy, and donkey rides.
