Royal Cornwall Show Returns to Wadebridge for Three-Day Celebration

One of Cornwall’s biggest annual events, the Royal Cornwall Show, returns to the Royal Cornwall Events Centre in Wadebridge from Thursday 4 to Saturday 6 June 2026.

The much-loved show brings together the best of Cornish farming, food, drink, shopping, countryside traditions and family entertainment. Running across three days, it is a major highlight in Cornwall’s summer calendar and attracts visitors from across the county and beyond.

Guests can expect a packed programme including main ring entertainment, livestock competitions, equestrian events, local produce, rural crafts, trade stands and plenty of food and drink. The show has been celebrating Cornish agriculture since 1793, making it one of the county’s most historic and important events.

For visitors staying in Cornwall, the Royal Cornwall Show is a brilliant day out and a great way to experience the county’s rural heritage. Its Wadebridge location also makes it ideal for exploring nearby places such as Padstow, Rock, Polzeath, Port Isaac and Bodmin.

Online ticket holders and members can enter from 7am, while general public gate sales open from 8.30am. Organisers suggest there is so much to see that visitors may need more than one day to enjoy everything on offer.
