From prize-winning cattle to racing lawnmowers, Guernsey's West Show has returned and aims to have something for everyone.

The show gives farmers the opportunity to show off their prized produce in a whole host of categories.

Despite the weather warnings, everyone stayed dry and the sun was shining for the first day of entertainment on Wednesday 17 August.

The excitement is set to continue tomorrow, as the event enters its second day.

So, what is there to see at the West Show?

Guernsey Bubbles

Chloe Ferguson broke the world record for the largest bubble net and has shown people at the show what she can do with her handmade bubble creations.

Animal Exhibits

Once the judging is completed, visitors can wander around the animal tents to see the winners in the cattle, goats, sheep and pig categories.

If smaller animals are more your thing, rabbits can be stroked and the accidental zoo can tell you everything you need to know about snakes and other reptiles.

If you don't have a fear of heights, the climbing wall may be the activity of the day for you.

Scale the wall on the flat section or, for a more challenging route, climb over the angled section to the top of the wall.
