Cornwall’s most iconic event returns next summer – and tickets are now officially on sale! The Royal Cornwall Show is one of the country’s most beloved and prestigious annual gatherings, and is set to light up the county once again from the 4-6 June 2026.
For over 230 years, the Royal Cornwall Show has been at the heart of Cornish life, a proud celebration of agriculture, community, and Cornish culture. Since its inception in 1793, the Show has grown to become a highlight of the local social calendar, attracting up to 120,000 visitors each year.
The unmissable three-day event offers something for everyone – from amazing livestock and equine competitions, to delicious local produce, family friendly entertainment, and shopping galore.
Agriculture and farming remains at the core of the Show’s identity, with top-class competitions that honour Cornwall’s rural heritage, while celebrating the innovation driving its future. Visitors can explore the Food and Farming Pavilion, bursting with the very best of Cornish food and drink, and browse hundreds of trade stands, offering everything from countryside crafts to cutting edge technology.
Around every corner, there’s something to discover – and something to delight. This year’s Main Ring will feature a showstopping headline act – The Knights of Middle England. This professional team of stunt riders, performers and combatants will bring history to life with an adrenaline fuelled spectacle of jousting and daring horseback stunts – a thrilling experience not to be missed.
“The Royal Cornwall Show has always been a true celebration of everything that makes Cornwall special – our farming heritage, our food, our creativity and most importantly, our people.” said Mark Stoddart, CEO & Secretary of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association. “Each year we’re proud to bring together communities from across the county and beyond for three unforgettable days. Whether you are a regular visitor or experiencing it for the first time, the 2026 Show promises to be bigger, brighter, and better than ever.”
With live music, countryside demonstrations, family fun, and an unbeatable atmosphere, the Royal Cornwall Show is truly Cornwall’s biggest day out.
