The event has a long history, with the first Devon County Show held at Victoria Park in Exeter on May 23 and 24, 1872.

Despite torrential rain during the inaugural event, more than 25,000 people attended to see 500 livestock and more than 800 machinery exhibits.

The show remains the flagship event of the Devon County Agricultural Association, which was re-formed in January 1872 after 21 years of being merged with the Bath and West.

The 2026 event attracted an audited attendance of 106,000 visitors, an increase of 5,000 on 2025’s record-breaking figure.
