Show secretary Theresa Soanes said: “The North Devon Show is such a highlight in the calendar for local people and continues to be very well supported by the public.

“We are expecting a fine sunny day and look forward to welcoming one and all.

“This year will see the return of popular showman Jonathan Marshall, plus some amazing quad bike stunts from ATV Events. The ever-popular giant tortoises will be there too, as well as the much-loved ‘meet and greet the animals.

“We have a fabulous dog show lined up, which is always popular with visitors, and with fairground rides and a live music stage throughout the day there really is something for everyone to enjoy on show day.”

North Devon Show buses are running from Barnstaple, South Molton, Bideford and Torrington throughout the day with tickets just £1 each way for adults and 50p for children.
