A celebration of rural life, farming, and tradition is just around the corner.
The Royal Bath & West Show returns to the Shepton Mallet showground in Somerset from May 28 to 30, 2026, bringing together farmers, competitors, and visitors for three days of agricultural displays, food, and family-friendly fun.
Tickets are now on sale with discounted rates available until May 27.
Emily Timney, head of events, said: "Livestock has always been a cornerstone of the show.
"These competitions are a real celebration of the dedication and expertise within the industry, while also providing a wonderful shop window connecting farming and the general public."
Livestock classes are now open for entry, with competitions in cattle, pigs, sheep, and more.
Equine events will also return, including heavy horses, carriage driving, pony club games, and 32 qualifiers for the Horse of the Year Show.
Showjumping entries open in mid-March.
The event will also showcase rural crafts, cider, perry and apple juice competitions, and the ever-popular bees and honey show.
Visitors can also enjoy the art and floral sections.
Ms Timney said: "The arts and horticulture sections bring a completely different dimension to the show.
"It’s always inspiring to see the creativity and detail that goes into every entry."
