IT’S that time of year, when people from across Cornwall and the country take the trek to the ancient Cornish capital for a day of agricultural amusement.

For more than 135 years, Launceston Show has been a staple in calendars and 2024’s event is set to welcome residents and visitors for a fun-filled day. 

Today, excited attendees from across the country will take the pilgrimage to Launceston with the hope of going home with a coveted rosette, recognising their creative efforts, prized livestock, well trained dog or even their culinary excellence.

At 2023’s show, a huge number of locals and visitors travelled to Kennards House to visit the agricultural event. There was plenty to see and do including gun dog and falconry displays, ferret racing, face painting, Magic Martin, speed shearing, the Iberian horse show, heavy horses, vintage vehicles, pony games and so much more. 

This year there will be even more on offer with the classic horse, cattle, sheep and poultry showing and even something new.

Follow along as we give you the latest updates from 2024’s event.
